Well, that just sucks! Really, someone is going to try to scam a writing group with a professional writer? That's just stupid. And it doesn't help them grow.
Sorry about that. It's not fun to have someone take advantage of you. I really appreciate the advice, encouragement, and prompts to improve writing.
I didn't post yesterday because I'm still working on my bedroom story. It got away from me and is turning into something that might be too big for one installment. I guess that's my way of saying that you've inspired me and I appreciate it. Your time and effort are making a difference. :)
To be honest, I overlooked the first story that seemed 'familiar' - and I shouldn't have.
Thank you for saying that I'm making a difference :)
