Well I have fought with the latest (actually not the latest, the previous) set offering and have managed an ending of sorts so I shall send it out. Not that happy with it but it is better than nothing. :-D

Visited a suggestion site and the ideas were quite good...they suggested

A letter to your future self

A story or poem about yourself,..............were nothing is true

First Kiss

A Colour how does it make you feel, what do you associate with the colour

Not bad ideas could suit both poets and writers

What do you think ?

From very wet Norfolk

Nothing that appeals to me there Jan but you have a go, I am still looking at the last lot without much success. I like the ones whereyou have to use a list of words, haven't found that site recently. i.e. they give you about 8 or 10 words that all have to be brought into the story. We did a lot of those in the beginning. I'll have a think. thanks for those anyway.

Anyone else just read Pete's latest offering? I love it, I'm still chuckling.

lol Ann, I think Peter has captured the lingo perfectly :-D

Greenfingers

Greenfingers Report 4 Mar 2012 19:01

Not had Peters effort yet or any others either , he always responds to mine though

Dermot

Dermot Report 4 Mar 2012 19:27

I don't seem to receive Peter's either - I think!

Rambling

Rambling Report 4 Mar 2012 20:31

Dermot and Jan I will email Peter as I note your addy isn't on his mailing list.

Good evening :-)

Hello Cat :-D Nice to see you here !

ChAoTicintheNewYear

ChAoTicintheNewYear Report 4 Mar 2012 21:19

Hi Rose :-D

I've been reading through the thread. Wrt the scenarios...is it possible to take inspiration from them but not use every little aspect. For example, I like BC's dark stormy night complete with false teeth and red lipstick but wouldn't necessarily want to have to use the bus driver bit that Ann added.

ChAoTicintheNewYear Report 4 Mar 2012 21:21

Oh, and did you get chance to read that story? It doesn't matter if you didn't but feed back would be appreciated if/when you get time.

AnninGlos

AnninGlos Report 4 Mar 2012 22:10

Cat, yes you can with that one as it was in two parts.

*whispers And we often do our own thing anyway, nothing is set in stone! :-D

Rambling

Rambling Report 4 Mar 2012 22:18

~~~ to both, just trying to catch up with reading ( please let me know if I have missed out on commenting on your work), and sent out a poem also.

Cat, as Ann says we often do our own thing, lol well I do, take bits of one topic and cobble them together with something else ;-)

I have read your blog, so will PM you, but may not be tonight as I'm sniffling and sneezing at the moment and 'might' get an early night.

ChAoTicintheNewYear Report 4 Mar 2012 22:31

Thanks, Ann, glad to hear it, I don't always do too well with set in stone :-D

Thanks, Rose :-) No rush on the feedback, I just realised I hadn't asked for any this time.

I'll probably only join in occasionally, at least to start with as job hunting is proving to be a full time job. Just a pity I don't get a full time wage for it ;-)

Rambling

Rambling Report 4 Mar 2012 22:39

Good luck with the job hunting Cat, not easy !

From a very wet and extremely windy Norfolk

Another suggestion............

There are enough of us, we could all suggest a word and then we could take out three or 4 that appeal

Jan

AnninGlos Report 5 Mar 2012 12:20

I am a bit confused. Has Cat sent a piece out? If so I haven't received it.

Jan, could work, you mean each suggest a word to be used in a piece?

Rambling

Rambling Report 5 Mar 2012 12:26

Morning Ann, Cat sent me a link to her own blog, and asked for my opinion on her first piece on it. I'm hoping she will join us when she has a bit of time :-D

Ah thanks Rose, didn't want to think I may have missed commenting.
