Thanks for the new stuff you have revealed in your text. One thing I would really like to reply to is that FSBO associations are built with time. By releasing yourself to the owners the first weekend their FSBO is definitely announced, prior to a masses get started calling on Mon, you build a good link. By sending them instruments, educational supplies, free reports, and forms, you become a strong ally. Through a personal curiosity about them as well as their problem, you produce a solid network that, on many occasions, pays off once the owners decide to go with a representative they know in addition to trust preferably you.

Writing is narrow: it’s only one scene from her life, and so she chose the details and wording that best reflected that particular scene, in which she was dithering over whether to speak up and add her very different, yet still valid perspective in a setting where the women might not appreciate it. I do get that. And it’s fun, snappy writing. I just wanted her to acknowledge the validity of the speakers of the Tuna Casserole dialect, I guess. Who knows? Maybe one of them needed what she had to say too, but was afraid that she didn’t speak Scholar well enough to articulate her gratitude.

No, no, don’t revise that paragraph, it’s funny, descriptive, cute! It epitomizes the whole essay. I don’t see it as trying to put others down, not at all. It simply states that we’re all different. We may feel that the ones who scrapbook or have all the children are the most valiant, but at times the “gnome” will speak to all of us.

Emily. You’re absolutely right that sometimes our writing reveals things about us that we aren’t aware of. From my interactions with this author, I’m pretty sure that smugness or condescension isn’t a big part of her personality. But your point is valid, and I’d like to thank you for couching it so kindly.

One of the great things about the Internet is the repentance process. I’ll give your observations to the author and see if she wants to do a little revision. Perhaps she’ll be a little more self aware after this. However, I do also want to point out that there’s a great deal of self-effacement going on in the essay. Like the people who author it, writing is often complicated.

I like this story of inspiration guiding the author’s comments. I had a similar experience a couple of weeks ago in Fast and Testimony meeting, where I felt inspired to speak up, and I did. It is a sweet feeling to know you’ve been guided by the Spirit.

I have to say, though, that I find wording like “dialect of Tuna Casserole” and “more time typing than tole painting” to be kind of condescending. I just got back from Enrichment. I am Not Crafty. But I love and honor the women who are, who express their creativity through vinyl sayings or and glue gunned wreaths. I’m grateful they share their talents with me. And they bring me casserole, sometimes tuna, when I need it.

I don’t think we should privilege creation by casserole over creation of letters; I wish there weren’t a scrapbooking divide. To be honest, I sometimes belittle scrapbooking, but that’s only because I stink at it and feel threatened by rows of perfect pages, not because it’s really any less valuable than the things I create. When I find myself guilty of the same condescension, I need to take a step back and see the women who love to do what I’m not good at with more charity.

I realize that’s not the essence of the essay. But I had to stick up for the good crafty women, like the one who taught me how to make a perfect pillowcase with French seams tonight. She promised to help me anytime I wanted to go over to her house. And I am grateful she lets me learn from her. I think sometimes she learns from me, too.
