Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
Thank you so much Terry for selecting me to be interviewed. I am pleased with the finished writing. There are things I left out, but it does share a lot about me. I have noticed since you released the interview folks visiting my portfolio who have never been by before. Thank you for introducing me to new writers. One writer wrote the following comment. "Wow! A poem that I can read and understand. Outstanding! As I have often said, when it comes to poetry, I wouldn't know a sonnet from sorbet. But your poem is proof that beautiful poetry can be written and enjoyed by everyone. Thanks for sharing."
That is the best comment any poet can receive is that his or her poetry is relatable to those who do not read or write poetry. Thanks for allowing me to be my authentic self. Thank you for spotlighting me on this site. You are appreciated for all that you do.

Sandra, thank you for the the six stars, I am delighted you are pleased. If I had a review I would give it a six as well, as I said at the start, we both need to be proud, and we are. Exceptional job on your part! Terry

Thank you, Terry. I also got 3 new fans. It's been a great venture. You are appreciated.
Comment from Jay Squires
I hope Sandra reads these responses. I am quite impressed with her credentials, studies, and experiences, though I haven't had a chance to read her poetry yet. That will be rectified today. Anyone who would read and rave about Tim (Theodore McDowell) already has well-established tastes. Thank you for interviewing such a noteworthy Fanstorian.

Comment from Rachelle Allen
Sandra is a wonderful new FS friend of mine, and I love the way you've presented her in this interview. She is deep and strong and a graduate summa cum laude from The School of Hard Knocks, but she's kind and intuitive and wonderful. I'm so glad you chose her because to know her and her work is to be improved as a person. Super nice work, Terry.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a great job with this informative interview, Terry.
I enjoyed learning more about Sandra's life and influences
on her writing. Your questions allowed her to share her amazing accomplishments--both personal and professional. She has
a multitude of stories to share that are informative and interesting.
Thank you, this opportunity, to meet Sandra up close and personal, Jan

Comment from giraffmang
Hi Terry,
So much for giving the interviewing a break, eh? lol
Another good one here and an interesting insight into another writer. t's good to see the focus on some other folk not up there all the time, although it looks like this writer has a lot of feathers in their cap already.
All the best

Gareth, Sandra is an interesting person, and in some ways a lot like you. She is an excellent poet. I do admit I enjoyed getting to know her work the same way I enjoyed getting to know yours.
As far as the interviews are concerned. There will be one more next Sunday. The person is a relucent jerk, so will see. After that no more. I have been getting suggestions for interviews, even volunteers are asking if I could interview them. I have an exit strategy; I hope it works. Terry.

Thank you for sharing Sandra with us. I have not discovered her yet, but I can tell it's my loss. I will surely search her out and read her post. You are doing a great service by doing these interviews. This is a perfect example. I was not aware of her, but am now.

Comment from GWHARGIS
I found it very interesting to learn what shapes a particular writer. Having not been on the sight long I know know who to look for. Your questions were good and strong. You went from basic to some unique questions so it gave the reader a chance to not just know about the poet but to understand her. Well done.

Gretchen, thank you for reading and reviewing. Sandra is an excellent subject for this interview because she is intelligent, has an interesting body of work, and lots of life experiences. Terry.
Comment from Annmuma
How does it feel to get all sixes? You may not know yet, but I have a feeling this interview will help toward that 'knowing'. I think it is your best yet -- but, of course, a major ingredient in good interviews is choosing the interviewee -- You get a six there as well. thanks, Terry, for another great post.

Ann, thank you for the six stars!!! Sandra does make a great interview, a very smart lady with an excellent body of work and a lifetime of experience. Terry.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
These words are for Sandra.
I think your comment about reading with a dictionary nearby is a great idea - I always have my phone so that I can Google a word or phrase I'm not familiar with.
I love that you watch others, as that is how we learn about the world around us and, thus, have subjects to write about. "On my way to finding me, I found others." Now, THAT'S poetic!
I've enjoyed some of your pieces that I've read, and look forward to reading more.
Great interview - glad I got to know you a little better.

I figured as much. We've already "fanned" each other and I do look forward to reading her work.
I'm glad you're doing more interviews with women - there are a lot of very talented ones here. Thanks for taking the time to do this for the FS community.
