All I can say is --
WOW -- it seems there are many more
impoverished noobs out there than I had imagined --
-- but, not to worry.
Even though I said only a "handful" -- just for assuming that would be about the number of responses I would get -- I won't be turning
any of you away. I've been reading some of the e-mails you have sent, and I'm really moved.
This started out as just an early morning whim -- based on little more than wanting to channel outward some of the "abundant energy" that's been overflowing GFY and the industry this week. But, now, I'm encouraged to enlarge the idea a bit. Not sure exactly how, yet -- but I promise to answer all your e-mails this weekend, and start to put together some sort of structure.
This is very cool --
If any of my colleagues in the industry have taken note of this thread, and would be interested in giving some of their time to mentoring these enthusiastic newcomers, I would love to hear from you. Scott, if you'd really rather "face the chalk board" sitting than stand and look the other way, how can I refuse -- LOL.
Thanks very much to all who have written, and to all who may yet write -- this feels like a good idea.
Nightwind, I got your e-mail -- I'll be in touch soon, and with all of you --
