Indeed. I don’t show my face often… but, on occasion it seems fit.

@ericawordsmith

Good morning, oh friend. I know thee well.

@lonathecat

Thank you! Those are super helpful comments. And I’ve gotten quite a few other responses that agree with you (it’s kinda nice when beta-reviews are consistent).

Thanks. Here  you have it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lWEhQkMfkQWGDvpYh3SndE6M_LdfocPKu1mLZMxXF3I/edit

I think she reached 52 copies?

@daeus-lamb

*sniffs* Ouch. 😅😂

I think it does well. And yes, it stings a little.

@taylorclogston

*laughs* I am working so hard to keep things clear… *sighs* Let’s see if I can do this. *compiles terms he’ll need to use*

Okay! I think in general we agree, but maybe we’re looking for a different angle on it with a slightly different answer. And I’ll clarify that when I refer to the tools of language, the objective side of…[Read more]

@deeprun

I wonder if we might think of this in the context of actually coaching  someone… what would we tell them? As in, we’re there to help them… not just give advice from the side (that’s often a good and necessary thing, but I’d like to look at it from a different perspective, if only…[Read more]

@edmund-lloyd-fletcher

*grins* Voice is one of my favorite things ever… and I’ll be following this conversation… and maybe add something at some point.

@anne_the_noob14

*nods* It’s another skill. One that’s not always the most helpful.  XD

@selah-chelyah
Admittedly, it is true that there are many ways to break character. It just must be defined.

And my apologies… One of Meraki. Consider my mistake corrected.
