I enjoyed your tribute for Debi who is known for all her poetry birthday greetings for members of Fanstory. Your words are endearing and kind Terry and I enjoyed your fine post, love Dolly x x x

    Coming from the top-ranked poet, that means a lot. Thank you! Terry.

You could nominate her for writer of the year Terry, but I don't think that's how it works. But, however, you could nominate her as most thoughtfully compassionate and Christlike writer, and as Debi sees it, her sacred duty, but together with her illness, such an overcomer. Despite all this, she would refuse that title, as all of us who claim Christ as Lord, should be, she's truly conforming to the likeness of Christ, beautifully written Terry, blessings Roy

    Oh, heck, Roy, nobody is going paying any attention to this old guy in Texas. Thank you for reading. Terry.

    Don?t be silly Terry, of course we listen, I agree with you, but the top writer might not, heh heh, blessings Roy

    LOL, well, with Humpwhistle gone and Jay Squires gone. It'll probably go to one of the top-rated like Dolly or Maybe Wendy down your way. All would be good candidates, but then so would Debi, but I ain't on the committee.

    I?m sure your pick is as unbiased as anyone?s Terry,
reply by the author on 11-Nov-2023
    Helen would be a good choice, too. #1 in scripts, #2 in short stories, #5 in poetry. And Barbara, #1 in novels. I bought one of fooks this year and thought it was excellent.

    Good thing I'm not on the committee. LOL, Terry.

    Fortunately it?s not subjective otherwise I wouldn?t have been a three time winner Terry,

I have no idea how Writer of the Year is selected, but I definitely would nominate Debi. I know she has had many health challenges this year, but her poetry never ceased. She never missed a beat, and I've learned so much about fellow writers as a result of Debi's work.

First, she studies the birthday person's profile and portfolio to glean information they may have posted. She goes back years. She then creates their life story in rhyme. With her post, she includes appropriate artwork and sometimes a video. When we review her work and extend our birthday greetings, she gets back to us and thanks us. This all seems like a full time job...without pay. YES! Debi should be Writer of the Year.

    Hi Lorraine, I don't know how it gets selected that's why I threw out the nomination. Thanks for your kind words for Debi. Terry.

Of course, you can nominate her but I don't know how that nomination works. That is decided by some committee in the beginning of the next year.
Debi is amazing in her selfless work to get all these poems out on time while she's going through all these treatments. We keep her in our prayers!

    Helen, you do a great job with your month birthday quizzes, the two of you and add Sally to the mix sometime are truly hard to beat.
    And I do think you are right, no one is going to listen to my nomination, but still...Thanks for reading, Terry.

    You voiced your opinion and that's a nomination! I wish there were a community award because it's what Debi and Karenina do that make this a welcome place.

Hi Terry that's a lovely tribute to Debi. She's amazing at writing those birthday poems for so many. I received one back in May for my birthday. I was amazed.
You have written a wonderful and lovely tribute to her. Ulla:)))

Somehow I don't think you are a "secret" admirer as you have revealed the secret to all of us. I haven't been on here long this time around but I am aware that Debi constantly posts birthday poems and that's a lovely thing today. I look forward to mine in March lol

You can and should if you feel so prompted. She wrote one for me a day ago, making me glow, and asked how I liked it before I read it, proving she reads the release at 12:01 a.m. whereas I didn 't see it until ten hous later.

I second the motion to nominate Debi Pick Marquette for writing of the year. Yes, she does a great service for us by writing these birthday tributes. I have gotten to know new Fanstory friends because of it. I only knew part of what she is going through right now, but I will continue to pray for her and add prayers for what I was missing. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    With Helen doing the quiz and Debi the birthday wishes, that's all pretty cool. Thanks, Barbara, Terry.

You're so thoughtful, Terry and this is a great post celebrating Debi! I have no clue how she manages all these birthday tributes and get a headache just thinking about it. She's truly driven and it's a great achievement, certainly worthy of some accolade. My best wishes to Debi for a speedy recovery from Covid and a continuation in improvement of her longer-term issues. Thanks for sharing, Terry! Debbie
