My Disclaimer Post- I am not an expert

You may or may not have noticed a new message in my comment section.

"Please remember that I am not a Fitzgerald expert.  My posts are my point of view at a specific moment in time, I may get things wrong. Kind words and discussions are always welcomed.  If I have made a mistake, politely let me know.  I would like to keep Fitzgerald musings a positive experience. Comment Away....."

 First I want to say that most followers and commenters leave positive and thought provoking messages, and I treasure everyone.  I hope you don't take offense to the new message.

However, every now and again, I do get a commenter who seems to stumble upon my site and leaves an anonymous comment.  Usually, I get the feeling that they think I am an expert and have made a huge faux pas.

If you have been following me for any length of time, you are aware I am not an expert on Fitzgerald. I am not a literature scholar, or even a former English major.  The purpose of this blog is not to give literary analysis on any of his work.  I am not a biographer,  I am not an expert on his life.  I went to school for Earth Science and I have a passion for Interior Design.  Again, not a literary scholar.

I have said it before and I will say it again.  I am just one girl who loves F Scott Fitzgerald writings.  I find a connection to and through his prose.  I am on the beginning stages of my journey to read his work and find out what I can learn about myself through him.

I have taken to calling him "my Dead Mentor".  But and expert, I am not.

I write what I think and feel at the time of the post.  And, yes, sometimes I get it wrong.  I am OK with getting it wrong.  After all I am not perfect I feel learning is a series of mistakes.

Feel free to leave messages where my mistakes are pointed out, but please remember that kind words and discussions are far more effective than a know-it-all perspective.  Especially, anonymous comments where I am unable to respond to your remarks.

Thank you for listening to my rant.
