Recommendation for the Gent

Deserving of an Award

I would like to recommend gentlmnwritr for the Unofficial Best Moderator on Writing.com. He is the most encouraging mod. Many times I have doubted my ability to write for his contests. (It isn’t easy for a second grade teacher to live in the adult world. Sometimes my vocabulary is limited to five-letter words.)

gentlmnwritr always wrote to urge me to try, and then when I submitted a story, he let me know that he thought my piece was wonderful. I never won first place. I don’t do R-rated well. But, I stretched, which is what Writing. Com is all about. gentlmnwritr’s kindnesses in giving me awardicons for honorable mention have made me (and many others) feel that we’ve achieved. I thank him for that and for the sweetness of his words, for his gentleness, and for his gentlemanly manner.

A Writing.com mod has many responsibilities. I think the most important of these is to offer encouragement for those who write alongside us. gentlmnwritris that encourager. He is a backbone of Writing.com, an instigator, and a role model. He is a friend who never turns away a request for help. He will read and assist anyone, and through his guidance, they are guaranteed to improve.

For all these reasons, I recommend gentlmnwritr as the Unofficial Best Moderator on Writing.com.

Smiles and all our prayers for your speedy recovery,

Shaara
