Post subject:  Good bye (update)
Hey everybody,
I am afraid my membership to this forum is coming to an end. You see, I have dyslexia, and all my life I was praised by people because I could write at all! It was a huge change for me to come on here and have people edit and point out wrong things about my writing. I have tried really hard not to feel offended I mean, how you all know that I have to write some letters capitalized to be able to recognize them and that I am only in 5th grade English. But the stress to be perfect and write perfection is way too much.
:?
So I must say good-bye to you for now,
Ana

~~~~~Update~~~~~~
Thank you all for your support! I can't tell you how encouraging you all have been in your posts.

I think for the time being I will visit now and then to check on the goings on but forgive me if I don't post much or very long posts. I get very nervous that I'm writing all wrong! I must say hardly any of you who have apologized had done anything to offend me but thank you for your concern anyways - it was very thoughtful.
At least for a little bit longer,
Ana

I do not ask that you stop correcting me when I'm wrong, only that you take into consideration my difficulties.

Oh, Ana, I'm so sorry!

I know this sounds cheesy, but I had no idea! I'm so sorry for any time I was critical of your work. I would say please stay on, but if it is too stressful for you, than it's probably not a good idea.

I will be praying for you.

Again, I'm very sorry for any time that I offended you. :(

Ana,

I would like to extend my apologies on the behalf of the forum for offending and stressing you by our zealous editors. We do try to be kind and helpful in our advice, but we do sometimes go too far, and for that I sincerely am sorry.

We would love to have you stay on with us. I am impressed by how well you have done, and I would like this forum to be known as a place where we encourage people who struggle with writing as well as those for whom it is easy.

If there is anything that I can do to help you or to alleviate your difficulties here, please, please let me know.

I hope to stay in contact with you! It has been good knowing you. :)

With joy and peace in Christ,
Jay Lauser

Ana, I'm sorry as well... I don't think I've really seen you on the forum that much, but I didn't know you had dyslexia. :( I hope you had a fun time while it lasted. :D

If I have ever offended you in any way, I offer my sincere apologies. I, also, had no idea! I hope that maybe you could stay on or come back in a little while?

Your brother in Christ

Ana, I am truly sorry, I didn't realize. If I have been a party to the offense, I hope you will forgive me. I hope you will consider coming back, and if not, please know that we will miss you. Don't give up writing! You have some wonderful ideas!

Oh, Ana! Don't let us scare you away! I'm very sorry you feel like you have to write perfectly, but let me remind you that all of us are certainly less than perfect! Honestly, I love what I've seen of your ideas, and that's half the battle. Don't go because you feel you have to be perfect and please don't let a bunch of less-than-perfect people discourage you! ;)

Ana, I'm so glad that you were with us. At least for a while. Your story ideas are amazing! And I hope that you'll be able to come back sometime.:)

God Bless!

Oh Ana! If I ever hurt you, I apologize :(. I wish you'd stay longer, you are a talented storyteller and an important part of Holy Worlds. I know it sounds like I'm trying to flatter you into staying, but I'm speaking in honest truth. God bless you in whatever you do, and thanks for being patient with the rest of us.
