Comment from Judy Lawless
You've done another excellent interview here, Terry. I am not familiar with the work of RGStar, although I have seen the name on postings. I will have to take a closer look. His answers to your question were well thought out and interesting. Good job on both parts.

Hello Terry a terrific Tuesday to you, I hope all is well. I am still enjoying your FanStory interviews. This one in particular spoke to me as I am a very heavy rhyming poet, RGstar gave some very helpful and insightful hints on writing rhymed poetry that I will give some serious thought on, so thanks to the both of you. Have a great day!

Thank you for reading, I have to say all three of the authors who were interviewed are excellent at the craft, and they offered up a wealth of ideas. Terry.

I love this advice on poetry and rhyme. After reading this, I found RG on FS. His latest poem about child abuse was amazing. I wish I had taken time to review it.

Comment from RGstar
I am giving you this six star author, not for what I have written, but for the quality of questions and the time you have committed to this, outside of your own work. There are never any definite answers that are foolproof, for most author's here will have something of own to add, which would benefit another. The two author's before me are excellent in their fields, and too others we have yet to hear. It was giving to hear what Jay and Lyenochka had to say, as well some others here who have much I would listen to. I share what I can in the hope that someone, somewhere may have use of something, however small, as well that it could benefit your project in an honorable way. There are no masters to poetry, except the Bard himself, and even he would tell you, if alive, of his own flaws at times. We all keep on learning, and when we think we know enough, it is time to stop.
I am a tad embarrassed because will have 3 sessions of me. I am the kinda guy that lays low, but speak through my work. But...I respect your decision Terry, and this is your project, which I hope you have the time in the future to bring back with some other authors who will be just as giving as we three before.
You have done well in organisation, and deserve the credit. Thus my six stars to you.
Thank you all for the humbling replies...a fine project Terry. I am truly humbled.
Best wishes Terry.
RG

Thank you for the six stars, very kind of you. I do think the project has been well received. The strength of the posts is because of the strength of the writers. How you and the others do what you do is fascinating. Terry

Thank you, these are three great writers! I am grateful that they all agreed to participate. Terry.
Comment from lyenochka
Thank you, Terry and RG! This is a great start to your three-part interview. I do like the admonition to not focus only on the end rhyme. When we do that, we strain to fit the word instead of focusing on the message of the line.

Comment from Annmuma
Okay -- so how do I award 2 'sixes' -- one to moderator for the right questions and one the responder for the excellent answers!!!! This piece is outstanding in so many ways. I learned from it, but was not chastised by it; I understood it without feeling 'less than' because I didn't know it before. RGSTAR is a good teacher, with so much to share and, apparently, a willingness to do so. I appreciate the opportunity to read this piece, to learn from it and I look forward to the next installment.
It's interesting to get an inside look at the why and how RGStar's work comes about. Inborn talent is the basis and development of that talent is devotion to perfection through hard work. It is apparent that RGSTAR has both.
Thanks for this post. ann

Ann, Thank you for the six-star review!!! You are absolutely right about RG. I think he may need a new nickname...let's call him the Professor. Terry
Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
You chose your interviewee evry well here in my opinion. RGstar is such an intelligent writer, and thinks exceedingly deeply about the process. This came across extremely clearly in the interview, due to a well-chosen series of questions.

Thank you for your review. I do think RGstar is a gifted writer. I have enjoyed your other reviews of posts I have made. I am curious, about the four-star rating. Is there something in the post you think needs to be improved? I need all the help I can get, so any input would be welcome. Thank you, Terry.

I am very sorry, I meant to hit 6, but I am having trouble controlling my broken hand at the moment, and also my eyes are playing up due to great stress. No, the interview was perfect. I was the mistake in the mix. I have rectified as far as possible
-
Oh, I am so sorry for your broken hand! I made the same mistake with Dolly and one of her poems last week. While I am sorry about your hand, I am glad I didn't do anything unforgivable. Thank You! Terry.

no, it was me. Thanks for giving me the chance to at least partially correct matters, and it will teach me to be more careful in the future.
