Hello Gizem ... this is Fred ... first time call.

I just wanted to say thank you for choosing to follow me. I have reciprocated, even though you haven't written anything yet.

Never-the-less, we are hopeful that you'll have stories up soon, so good luck with your efforts.

I wish you well with your own writing.

The only slightly-negative thing that I can say is: "Your comment about 'wanting to make money' might need to take second place to 'wanting to write' because 'wanting to be a writer' may lead to making money - but only if you are genuine in your self-belief on 'being a writer."

I really do wish you well with your writing

May your day be just right for you … all the best to you and yours,

Fred
