Ann, as long as someone can drum it into me how to spell 'occasionally' I shall accept all criticism lol, isn't it funny how particular words get me every time :-D

But seriously I would rather have an honest opinion, and corrections, or suggestions for making something read better, than a 'that was nice'..unless of course it WAS just 'nice' lol.

Hello Rose edit and Ann :-)
I have been asked if i'd like to join in with the group again and the answer is yes.... if I can kick start the old brain ;-)
I've had a couple of ideas but always seem to reach a block!

I recently saw Dan Brown interviewed by Kirsty Wark about creative writing. He told her when he had 'writer's block', and wanted inspiration, he hung upside down to get blood to his brain ........seems like a plan?
I know I sometimes feel as daft as a bat but wouldn't want to be one ;-)......off now to hang around hoping to see who else will hang out with me

Mau :-Dx

RamblingRose - that was nice :)

:-) Mau, I'm glad you are staying!

I don't think I'll try the hanging upside down bit ( though it reminded me of Mork and Mindy which I used to love) , the blood rushes to my head as it is, just reading the board sometimes :-)

Hello Errol, lol wait till you read :-)

Where do I sign?

Errol just entering this thread means there is no escape ;-)
but I am sure Ann will sort out who, what and where when she is back home.

You can start writing your 'what I did in the summer holidays' as a practise piece ;-) lol.

So nice to see this again and will be happy to join in. A few tweaks here and there should do the trick and tighten things up a bit and I, for one, am open to criticism...if anyone dares! :-D :-D

At this moment, I am totally devoid of any inspiration but am sure I can be kicked into shape..

Bring it on! :-D <3

Well, in that case you really only need one full stop at the end of a sentence ;-) :-D


eRRolSheep

eRRolSheep Report 23 May 2013 16:38

I think you need to add one to the end of your sentence ChAoTicTheory.

I might consider joining this group myself. It could only improve my use of full stops...or lack of them ;-) :-P

ButtercupFields Report 23 May 2013 17:05

I confess I have taken to using a ? with a ! at the end of questions...to denote, "this is a hypothetical question, you really CANNOT be serious?!" :-D
