Ann

Welcome Stella and Les, haven't been on for a few days, tooooo busy in the garden !!

Regards Jan

Hi Persephone, the importance of writing is to be creative and sometimes to just deal with emotions but for me the greatest joy is in sharing and so readers are very special people who help us by giving feed back.. :-)

Perse, Lol, cucumber actually has a distinctive smell. I like it though but can understand how it taints the butter.

You are not 'just' a reader Perse, our readers are very important as they can give a good opinion of what the rest of us write.

Your story goes to show that those who like reading will read anything. But how sad to deny children books.

As you will have gathered Stella.. I am "just" a reader... a writer I am not... Maths was my best subject at school.

I don't mind how long your stories, poems, ditties etc are.

There is a NZ book about life in early NZ and the author, a woman tells how her father would not allow the girls to read, they were to be maids, servants, housewives and had no business educating themselves. As they could not afford wallpaper they had newspaper on the walls and she read everyone of them.

I don't eat cucumber at all.. horrible stuff. I hate it when people say oh just take the cucumber out.. huh !!! it taints the butter. Can tell if a sandwich has had cucumber in it at five paces.

Hi Stella welcome back and well done for your poetry book publication. :-D

I still have the poem (pinned onto notice board) you gave me permission to print out.....'I was looking at you'.....about your pet dog,always makes me smile. :-)

ok.. i will have a look and thank you Ann.... :-)

Yes that is right, we have a couple who read for us, we hope they will eventually join us as writers.

I have received your e mail addy Stella I will send you out a list of the groups emails tomorrow. On my I pad at the moment and not so easy to do as the desk top.

If you look back a page or so you can see the suggested assignments for the 2 weeks ending 12th July but you can send in anything if you don't want to be guided by suggestions.

does that mean that you don't write Emma .. just read? :-)

Stella I am a reader for the group, sorry should
have said. :-)

Hi Emma,

i was here originally my special subject is poetry and i have some of my work published now.

i too am looking forward to reading your pieces and thank you for your kind welcome...
:-)

Hello Stella,

I've never spoken to you before but look forward to receiving
your pieces and welcome back.

Emma :-)

i was thinking about having a rest from poetry and trying some prose for a while..

do you know Anne , i just did and the site went down...lol, will try again :-)

You will of course be very welcome Stella. As I was the only one writng a novel length story I guess it was mine that were too long. I will stick to short stories in future then, didn't realise that was why you left.

I am not sure that I still have your e mail so could you PM me with it please.

Ann

Ok Rose,
i hope she will bring me up to date with the topics you are all working on..it might do me good to write some prose after all this poetry..lol
:-)

Well done to you Stella, glad you've come back to the site also. Ann is organising the group now, after us all having a bit of a break from writing for varied reasons so I'm sure she will be in touch as soon as she reads your post or if you send her your email she will let the rest of us know. :-)
