How I Met Crystal Ray

It all began about two years ago when I was a newcomer to the formerly titled Associated Content. Because I was so new to online writing, I was looking around at different contributor pages to get some idea of how it all worked.

I don't exactly remember the circumstances now, but Crystal Ray was one of the first people I subscribed to.

Little did I realize at the time that my email inbox would be flooded with her articles. By this I mean that Crystal Ray is one of the most prolific writers imaginable!

It seemed that everyday I would get more and more notifications that she had published something. I couldn't keep from wondering, "Who is this person?"

Meanwhile, my own writing career limped on like some Beverly Hillbillies hound dog.

At this point, I have a confession to make.

Certainly, I was interested in sending a message to this mystery woman that I was admiring so much. But, I was just too darn shy to do it.

"She won't want to talk or write to me," I reasoned. "She's good at it."

Finally, I summoned my courage and sent her a message. She wrote back with an attitude of kindness that is matched only by her intelligence!

"Wow! She's so nice as well as smart!" This was my first thought as I met Crystal Ray.

It was like realizing that the greatest artist in the world is willing to share her colored chalk--to break it in two so we can draw together.

Since that time she has offered me great writing advice which I have appreciated greatly! If you visit her CP page you will find articles about SEO writing and many other different subjects!!

Whenever I've felt that I was being discouraged, Crystal would say, "You can do it!!"

Well, now I've told you the happy story of how I met Crystal Ray. You should too.

Thanks, Crystal!
