Carrscorner Writing Team

I wrote this article for another upholstery website, and I just copied it here
(A note to another Steve) Steve, thank you so much for expressing your appreciation and inspiring me to write this article. Just let me take a moment to distribute your appreciation also to those who equally deserve credit and appreciation.

Everyone is a writer. Writing is the only way that you can participate on this website.

Appreciation for Carrscorner Website

As a relatively new member to this website, I would like to express my appreciation to the leadership and other members of this Carrscorner website.

The caring and encouraging environment of this website inspires us to try our best.
It has been said, "Good writing doesn't happen in a vacuum". When there is a freedom to exchange ideas, one idea is built upon another until finally an article is born.
In doing good writing, it is very helpful to have a safe environment, free from condemnation and bitter criticism, such as Carrscorner.

The Carrscorner Writing Team:

Let me take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to all the others on Carrscorner Webboard who share their thoughts, experiences and wisdom...
On this website I look upon every member as part of a larger team. Since the main form of communication is by writing messages, you might say that everyone who participates is part of a "Writing Team". No member of this Writing Team is more or less important, all are equally important:

• They who ask the questions that need to be answered. Without those questions, what would there be to write about?
• They who initially answer the questions. These help to get our thinking going. It's often easier for some people to add to what others have already said.
• They who have the knowledge and experience. These help us keep on track and make sure we give helpful and accurate answers. They knowledge helps the writers be more accurate in what they write.
• Those who supply additional thoughts or expertise.
• Those who suggest new ideas for articles.
• Those who research out the facts. They add credibility and great value to what is written.
• Those who craft those thoughts into into a written form that is easier for people to understand.
• Those who check what is written for validity; is it true and to be trusted?
• Those who edit and correct what has been written.
• Those who provide encouragement and sincere appreciation (not flattery) to those who write or otherwise participate. This encouragement inspires the writers to try harder and write better. Good writing is hard work. Without the encouragement, it would be very easy for a writer to get discouraged.
• He who provides and maintains the website space that those words might be written and who makes it possible for that message to be displayed for others to read.

None is more important; all have equal importance. All of these help to provide the rich and flavorful experience that we each benefit from as we are share and participate. Each person in the writing team add some valuable insight, wisdom, encouragement, special knowledge. If any one of them isn't involved, the message doesn’t get shown to the readers.

All these things work together to make good writing and wholesome share and interaction possible.
