I can only be me

Having to take a day off from work because I felt like I had strained my stomach muscles gave me a lot more time to read today, and looking at some of the fantastic work that's been produced here I can only reach a couple of conclusions.
One is that Erin and her elves have created the most amazing place I can imagine, and we who get to enjoy their work should remember to be grateful, and show that gratitude however we can - contributing to the hat box, or even just making sure we dont make things harder for them with our blogs, stories, and comments.
The other thing is that I cant be like my favorite authors. I cant do emotional stories like Drea, or keep a half-dozen stories going on at the same time like Bailey, I cant make stories that show how some of the stereotypical ideas would lead to pain and grief in real life, like Randalynn does. I cant even do what Tels can and take a "short" story and turn it into a novel ...
But I can be me.
And you know what? I'm not bad. Some of my stuff is actually pretty good even looking at it as objectively as I can.
And I'm gonna try and get better, to become the very best author I can be.
And guess what? You guys get to be along for the ride ....
