When there isn't enough space in the comment box.....

Gert 🐝 Scholtz wrote the post, The Write Stuff, about the writers on beBee. Impressive to say the least. I was also impressed with how many of the writers I was familiar with and also a few writers that Gert inspired me to now look out for like Paul Walters, Paul Walters, Aleta Curry, Robert Cormack and Mamen 🐝 Delgado.

I took from Gert's descriptions the words which resonated for me about the writers whose works I have enjoyed:

Aleta Curry: John’s writing is a model of plainly spoken eloquence.
Pascal Derrien: He paints pictures with words; bright, sad, thoughtful, and creatively articulate.
Sandra 🐝 Smith: It feels like Uncle Jim is talking to me (or having a rant) on his porch while sipping morning coffee.
Liesbeth Leysen, MSc. Brand Ambassador beBee, Inc.: Liesbeth is a born storyteller.
Mamen 🐝 Delgado: Donna-Luisa tells about herself and conveys her thoughts in the most charming way.
Phil Friedman: He can put to words the most practical down to earth advice as well as dwell with ease in the most abstract of deliberations.
John White, MBA: His writing on technical aspects of social media platforms is instructive and lively; he conveys the nuts and bolts in a way non-techies such as I can understand.
Joyce 🐝 Bowen: Her use of tempo, dialogue, alternating paragraphs and sheer narrative force is outstanding.
Pascal Derrien: David expertly covers wide-reaching social issues.
Dean Owen: Dean’s wide range of topics on beBee is yet to be matched.
Jim Murray: Who else can write with such creative originality about the natural world around us and the way that we view the world? Who else can stop you in your tracks to think and ponder in only a few short paragraphs? The depth of thought and comments elicited by Sir Ali’s elegant and gently provoking writing is a testament to a master craftsman and thinker.
Ian Weinberg: Ian probes the human condition and human mind with acute insight. His articles on mental well-being are distilled to the very essence of how the mind and brain functions. He simplifies the enormously complex functioning of our brain into terms all can understand. He is also one very entertaining storyteller, in person and one paper. A neurosurgeon whose writing impacts my mind.
Donna-Luisa Eversley: He researches his subjects well and brings it to life with his gift of humor.
debasish majumder: His writing is honed to full and vibrant expression.
Phil Friedman: Paz is an archaeologist. She has a penchant for uncovering hidden historic information and then detailing it meticulously in her posts. Even though I use google translate for her Spanish posts, the richness of the history of the people and places she turns her eye on is brought forth with detail and clarity in her well-researched stories.
Lisa 🐝 Gallagher: Lisa writes with an arresting openness and honesty about who she is.
Paul "Pablo" Croubalian: Javier inspires me because of his immense optimism and positive outlook. His native language is Spanish yet he writes regularly in clear English. Javier said in one of his posts: “Stories are powerful and shape both those who tell them and those who are themselves shaped by the storytellers.” Better words on what it is to write on beBee I have yet to find. Gert Scholtz

And now, I wish to offer my impression of the writer Gert 🐝 Scholtz.
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of reading Gert’s posts is, “a gentle giant”. There is always something big I take in from his writing; whether it is an idea, an image, or an impression, I am left with a feeling of expansion, but all coming in on a gentle wind. Gert has a very easy and flowing narrative style and his words and images take me along for the ride. I always go away feeling like I have just experienced a slice of life.
