Sad News
Well this morning turned up something very unexpected. I received an email from a friend of one of the members on Poetic License [poetic-license.org], named Waylander. Apparently this friend has mailed me along with all the other email addresses in Waylander’s contact list, to let us know that she had passed away as the result of a car accident.
When you build an online community, you are gifted with all sorts of insights into people’s lives – pain, joy, fear and pride all comes out in little dribs and drabs. In PL’s case it was often through our author’s work, as well as through their interaction on the forums. It’s very sad to know that one of our member’s is gone – I re-read her works on the site, and while I know next to nothing about Waylander’s life, her work reflects an intelligent mind and a strong heart that’s seen it’s share of difficulty. Waylander will be missed on Poetic License, and I’m sure by a great many people offline. God bless to her family and friends.
