I will never, ever forget Jay Squires for more than one reason. He is a phenomenal writer, no question. He was always supportive of my work. However, I write prose. When I joined FS, I decided to try one of those unbelievably short poems. Jay reviewed it and gave me my first four star review. He said my poem was good, but I used words everybody used. Haha! I didn't know. Jay and another writer who left the site were my favorite. I'm glad Jay is somewhere that makes him happy. Thank you Terry, for this informative update.

Comment from BethShelby
I'm glad to hear something of what is going on with Jay, I've been wondering if he is still writing. I really enjoyed his stories and if he on a sit that pays real money, I am proud of him. I miss reading he work. I also miss yours because you aren't posting very often. Thanks for telling us about Jay.

Comment from Wendy G
A lovely reflection on Jay and his writing, and I am glad he's still going well with it. Medium sounds interesting! It was good to see you back here too, I always enjoy your writing style, and this piece was as good as ever.

Thanks, Wendy, I really haven't moved over to Medium, its interesting, but I'm not wanting to work that hard for a few bucks. Terry.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Very well done. And quite appropriate.
I joined Medium after learning of Medium from Jay. I joined (the first level), but didn't see myself pursuing enough to justify the expense. I'm excited for you and Jay.

Thanks, Wayne, my experience with Medium is about over. Jay is working it and enjoying it, and making some money. Terry.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
What a lovely tribute to Jay Squires, Terry! I know of him but I think he must have left just before or after my arrival last year. I love the respect and admiration you have for him here as you capture, to those who don't know him, a man of great acuity and intelligence who can always laugh at himself and have fun. Thank you so much for sharing this excellent piece. Take care Debbie

Comment from Michele Harber
I've always enjoyed Jay's work, and his down-home attitude. I can't imagine he'd be anything but thrilled by what you had to say.
Your words are lovely and kind, almost reverential, and obviously genuinely appreciative of all Jay had to offer FanStory, and still offers anyone else who reads his work. He's certainly left his legacy at FanStory, and it sounds as though he's leaving one at Medium as well. I wish him all the best.
Thank you for keeping us updated.

Comment from GWHARGIS
Jay is a fabulous writer, coach, mentor and everything else you mentioned. I really miss his reviews. I'm delighted he is doing well. I use Fanstory as a sounding board. I know the money is not "real" cash but I feel like I've made a lot of great friends on here. I also feel like I've lost friends as well Nancy E. Davis through death and Lee and Jay by way of moving on. Please, please, please tell me you aren't going anywhere. Tell Jay I'm very proud of him. And let him know I published Missing the Other Alex. That was one that he really liked. Great update, Terry. Good luck on Medium. I might have to check that out. Gretchen

Gretchen, thank you for the six stars for Jay. I am not really going anywhere. Medium is interesting, but it's a pretty complicated cold fish. Unless you work at it. I'm sure he will read your review. Terry.

I was so glad to read this! I was worried about Jay, as he hasn't been on here in a while. I am glad he is still writing. I have never heard of Medium. I may have to check it out. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
What a nice tribute. I wondered where jay had gone, and you as well, for I miss your reading what I wrote. Was Jay the one who wrote sans photos and in a light blue background? if not, do you recall who did?

This is a very nice written tribute to Jay Squires. He is one of the people who reviewed my work as one of the first reviews that I got when I joined fan story in 2014. Jay is a very talented writer and I enjoy his work very much. Have a good day and God bless you. Patricia .
