Thank you very much for your kind comment on my journal; I appreciate it very much. :) While I know that my writing could use some a lot of improvement, it is a passion of mine, and a craft I would like to perfect.

To hear otherwise -- that it may have a chance, that it has potential regardless of how much work it needs -- is more than encouraging, and I really want to thank you for being so considerate with your constructive criticism. :)

I know my writing doesn't reach a huge audience, but it has received a lot of acclaim from teachers who are a little less conservative and more cutting-edge. It may not be everyone else's writing, but it is my own. And I want to than you for seeing at least some of that.

Just to add to my other thankful comment. :)

No problem. I thought the people in the community were rather rude and inconsiderate. Frankly, they don't know you and really aren't all too familiar with your abilities. Glad you found my comment encouraging, and best of luck once again.

Of course! :)
