Regina, you're only one of the true elite writers on this site. Yes, I'm a big fan! You always impress me. I highly recommend anything you've written.
Reggie, you never fail to move me. As one who loves words, your writing always delights me. You shine. It is even more admirable because of your humility about your obvious talent, which is flawless whether expressed in prose or poetry.
I've browsed this thread a couple times already and decided that I truly had nothing to add, but I thought I should say something. Your talent astounds me, but you know that, your words stimulate me and you know that too, so what am to say? From Want to Trust, from My Body A Poem to A Muse's Poem your works pull me in... Your delicious mind amazes me so much so that I've developed a ridiculously silly girl crush. So I say all this to say, keep inspiring others with your gift... Keep writing.
What is the difference between Honorable Mention and Recommended Reads?

Great introduction ABG, and after reading this entire thread, I am in awe of your gracious and humble replies, and would like to congratulate you on your award-winning work. I am mainly here for the social aspect, hanging out in one specific chatroom, but ever since I discovered writers like yourself, I crack open at least a story, treating it like prep-talk, before I open the seediest chatroom, LOL. Keep up the great work. My friends also say thank you, wink wink.

That was SOME re-introduction hon but you forgot one of your best features - you are also one hell of a good friend! I didn't read that in your bio and it NEEDS to be said!
Your continued support of my work (amongst others) keeps me writing and your level of work keeps me reaching for the bar that you set for us all. I am proud and very grateful to call you my friend Reggie. Keep on doing what you do so well and you will have no readership worries!
Reggie, as I told you before I stand in awe of your talent. There are mighty few authors who have your imagination combined with your writing ability. I found it an amazing experience when reading 'Fiction' trying to discern where poetry ended and prose started. I think I read it three times in a row your words were so amazing.
You bring gifts to all of us. The one which I find priceless is the lesson in humility in knowing that I have many miles to travel to reach the point at which you are now, and the certitude that when I get there you will still be further away.
I am privileged to call you a friend and value that small piece of you.
I just happened to be in the neighborhood and had to add to this thread.
Reggie you are one of the finer pens on Lush or StoriesSpace.
I have always enjoyed your works.
Like I said when we first met.
You should have named yourself AABG for Above Average Black Girl
I will keep following you....... Hugs Reg

May we always be constant friends. Your schedule seems is even busier than mine. I'm always excited to see your stories when they post. Often, I'm jealous because someone gives them a RR before I can even get to it. *Stomps feet like a little brat* I hope that I never disappoint. I'm still learning and it is an honor to have your support.? 
Excuse me while I clean it up.
