I have received writings.

OOps I made a mistake! I thought you meant that the writings had to be approved before they were put on the thread....
Evidence perhaps that I am still not back to my normal self!!

Bridget, you should have been receiving all my stuff the last month or so. If you haven't then it is possible I have a wrong e mail address? Can you PM me your e mail if you have not received anything please?

Just noticed that further up the page there is a statement about sending out
work, will I also be receiving this, if so another message to look forward to.

Thanks for the acknowledgment Rose,

I am excited and rather nervous at the same time re writing again, but I am sure that I want to try. I am not good at fiction so tend to take experiences of my life or others (who will have given permission) to rewrite so that the people involved cannot be recognised.

Hello Bridget, just signing out for the night but I'm glad you're back with us and look forward to reading whatever you write :))

I'll try and catch up tomorrow with both reading and writing,

night night,

Rose xx

I thought that I had sent a message either yesterday or the day before but I cannot see it on here.

I would like to come back in the next few days but feel a little apprehensive as I have been rather unwell. So look out for me!!

Hello ladies, I think we have a potential new member ( Wendy's BIL) so I will be sending round an email asking how you wish to proceed with sending out work to him, either via me or directly that is.

Anyone else looking in who might like to join? !

Hello all, just a thought in case anyone needs an exercise ...someone in a tv programme just asked the question

"What was he like?"

and I thought it might make a good little practise piece, to describe someone you know to give a good idea of their appearance and/or character.

Rudyard Kipling said:
"Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind".

Apparently.



And here is another idea from Writing Magazine.

Write a story with the title 'Great Expectations'. (No, don't copy Dickens!)

Hi Wend, I will PM you also for details of how the writers 'work' with regard to sending out...but I know I speak for everyone when i say your brother in law will be made very welcome :)) and we would love to read what he has written so far!

Thank you for the suggestion Ann :)) I may need to do one of those rather than the story as I'm short of time and a lot of ideas buzzing and making no sense lol.

Have my mum's friend coming on Saturday so I may be late doing anything this week...bear with me please ladies!

Lol BC but you have one attribute that not a lot of people have. You can make me laugh when I am down (and when I am not!!)

Funny you should say that, Ann, but you are right. I WAS a nightmare at school and I suspect I still am! Lol! BCXX

AnninGlos Report 17 Feb 2011 17:14

I bet you were a real problem at school BC. I thought 'Life is funny that way' might appeal to you though. Never mind, as long as you write something, you don't need any hints.

Sorry, Ann, I didn't reply as I don't follow suggestions very well as you know. But thanks for putting it up:-) BC XX
