We’ll get back to Four Seasons tomorrow, with July. Today I’d like to send you somewhere else. I promise it’s well worth the few minutes, and will take only about 25% of the time as one of my long-winded stories. : )
James Chartrand, of Men with Pens, has always been an inspiration to me. A frequent writer for Copyblogger, I found both his home site and Copyblogger on the same day. Both sites were featured on a list of high quality sites about writing. It was on a Sunday afternoon, maybe two away from me deciding I’d make the leap to being a writer full time. Both sides landed in my reader that day and have been visited often. The always solid writing advice on both sites, discusses not only what it takes to be a better writer, but what it takes to be a better writer online.
James revealed something at Copyblogger this morning that was deeply touching. I don’t want to say what it is, because I feel it will be best if it hits you cold, as it did me.
Thank you, James. And Bravo.

wow… Thanks for the link! But then, I don’t think it was as shocking to me as it was to you, since I’m not an avid Men with Pens reader…

Yeah, but you had to be at least a little, WTF?!?! right?

Sad that it still makes a difference…

True that, my friend. Sad indeed. That post made me weepy.

Thanks for sharing.
It is hard to believe that times really haven’t changed all that much, and kind of sad.

Hi Chase, yes, it is sad.
On an unrelated note, I read your Give Me the Tools post earlier from your link on Twitter. I feel you, believe me. It’s sad how handicapped a lot of the teachers are. No me gusta.
It’s like that scene in Six Sense where Bruce Willis slowly realizes he’s the ghost.

LOL, awesome analogy, J.D.! And yeah, I was thinking of using a pen name as well. For a while, I did, but it was just Writer Dad and it didn’t last long before I was outed.

I have it backwards. I’ve read James’ underpants – er post first. But just the same I’m still reeling from it on so many levels. Love your reply to a reader who seemed intent on ascribing malice and dark designs on James’ person.
