Hi Terry, Lisasview here...
I seldom read stories as I just do not have the time ... but the photo and the fact that I have read quite a bit of your work in the past was enough to peak my interest. I am more than delighted to have read this... I find it extremely well written... in all the words and sentences there is a sort of uplifting quality in the way this is written. I also am quite interested in learning more about the Medium. I am pretty sure that once my year is over with FS that I will not renew. There are several reasons.... I will of course miss the connections I have made . I am a serious writer and feel I need to put together my poems and find a publisher... which will be a better way for me to spend my time...
Thank you for sharing this...

Lisa, I'm honored and appreciate your six stars. Jay is an easy subject to write about. Take a look at Medium. I think they have much more prose than poetry, but they do have some. I posted two. I didn't get many readers. I found it very hard to understand how to navigate. Jay figured it out and is doing very well.
Get luck with getting published. That would be cool. Terry.

You are so welcome
I will check it out.
Navigating through anything new can be challenging?

Comment from Bill Schott
This is a terrific update on one of my Fanstory heroes, Terry. Jay is one person who can make you feel like you are contributing. He was my constant reviewer who gave me both praise and suggestions in his humorous and delightful way. I am pleased he has found a productive outlet for his great writing and coaching abilities.

Comment from jenintorre
I really loved this piece about Jay Squires. I found it very interesting and I found 'Medium' even more interesting, I have not heard of it but will certainly check it out as I am a bit disgruntled with FS and like Jay can't afford it. Thanks for sharing. Jen.

Jen, thank you reading and reviewing. Jay is having great success over there. I found it difficult to figure out. It is $50 is join, and $150 to get into the money pool. Good luck if you try it. Terry.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is a really interesting article written in your way of making us all smile or laugh. I think it is great Jay has another way to get his writing out there. He is so very talented and personable. Thanks for letting me know why I am missing Jay and didn't know where he was.

Carol, thank you very much for the review. Jay is good man, and writer. Terry.
Comment from Dawn Munro
You nailed it -- Jay's FanStory family is proud of him, I am sure. But you're no slouch either, my friend.
The first time I reviewed Jay's writing I felt the same way -- 'dang, this guy's good'. In fact, I'll admit I wondered if I was qualified to write a review for him.
Well done, and thanks for the information about a writing site that might actually pay for something I write. (But then, it sounds complicated... *Whimper*) :))

Comment from judiverse
Thanks for the update on Jay; I know he had mentioned leaving FS, but didn't know what he'd been up to since then. Delightful story about his selling that story at age 10. I like your comment "He is smiling because he has a windmill to slay." That defines Jay. I was especially interested in his plays and always hoped he'd try having them produced. Maybe you could encourage him. Splendid detail and humorous approach to the subject.

Judi, thank you for reading. His scripts are fun. He has published some novels, I don?t know about his plays. Terry.
Comment from Ric Myworld
Like many, I was sorry to see Jay leave, but I certainly understand his choice to check out Medium. He is an outstanding writer who deserves whatever successes come his way. It's always a pleasure to root for a winner! Thanks for sharing.

You're right in the mix, my friend!

I may get political tomorrow, most likely my lowest rated story ever. LOL. And so it goes.

Wow! Jay sounds like he's a wonderful guy to know, and an accomplished writer too. You did a great job with the writing of this. It came across as friendly and informative.
Well done!

Comment from GoWiSt
Ha! I think Jay's right about not being bald. I can just make out the cool grey sleek hair at the top of his head.
Is 'Medium' another writing site?
Wow! What a great ode and tribute to Jay this is. It's very encouraging and inspiring to hear that he's still scribbling strong at age 85--85! Nice to hear how so impactful he has been to your life.
'Real' dollar payouts from Medium?? Sounds like something I need to check out...

Thank you for reading. Medium is a writing site. A few people do make a lot of money there. I did find it difficult to get a handle on how it works. Good luck. Terry.
Comment from Jim Wile
This was wonderful, Terry. I too have been in touch with Jay since he left, and it seems like he's doing well now and enjoying his time on Medium. It's nice to see, especially with the events that took place shortly before his departure from FanStory.
I'm looking forward to being an early reader and reviewer of the story you collaborated on since he asked me if I would be interested in doing that. Talk to you soon about it. - Jim
