AB, I agree that, as writers, we need to keep our integrity intact and write what we truly believe in. We need to be brave enough to accept the scorn of those who don’t agree with our beliefs or views, and you do that.
Thank you for this encouraging piece of writing. I also read and enjoyed your piece “Back to Those Ballads That Make You Swoon..”
Thanks, John, for sharing this excellent article, and thanks, A.B., for writing it.
Thanks Maria for taking the time to read and comment.
Appreciated.
Thank you Jodah, it is encouraging to have the support of a fellow writer!
Thank you for posting this article. AB, It’s a delight to read your article. It’s a wise advise to writers, to be honest and never surrender. Today, when I don’t feel I can trust the media, your stand gives hope.
Thank you aesta; we must never fear taking the stands which are necessary {required} from time to time. Complacency destroys Nations.
Hello AB Williams!
I agree with your views and I liked reading this article. Writing is after all, self expression.
Thank you John for sharing this in the forum.
Thank you Chitrangada.
"Writing is after all, self expression". I thought so too!
Thank you for being the principled person you are, and a kind lady to boot!
Thank you Savvy. Appreciated more than you know!
AB...
You are no Dinosaur.
You are grounded & content.
It is a great honor to stày true to your beliefs.
Keep writing the way you do.
I totally understand how those words won't stop until you pick up the pen.
That's one part us Writer's have in common. It pulls us...we have no choice.
I may not always agree with your words, but that's what makes it so great.
So glad you write for you and no one else.
Terrific article.
Thank you Brenda for your kind words. I am glad that you like the article and I appreciate your support!

I feel scared to write. People think that I'm always writing my heart out. All I ever do is making up stories about real people with imaginary stuff or about imaginary characters with real incidents. I'm not writing my heart down. Any suggestions?
