Good morning Lynda, fine thanks, not dressed yet though!

Morning fellow scribblers. Coffee and breakfast finished with, so have no excuses now, will have to get dressed...lol...BC XX

Am i strange or does anyone else get a feeling of contentment when they've got the kids off to school, got the washing on and the dishwasher going?

Got my toast and tea and sitting at my laptop ready to start work (I work from home), but i'm talking to my new friends on here first. Grin....

It's a long long time since I saw my kid off to school, Lynda, but I remember that feeling....Grins back.....am off to the park with my doggie. Bye for now. BC XX

Morning all, just logged on and popped in.... I have a really busy day today, and slept in again!

I see I have mail... I'll go and look in a mo, but might not be able to review until later.... I have a really busy day, today, with GP and my parents visiting. MUST swear at the kitchen!

Love

Good morning everyone..

xx

Stella - I know tell me about it.

BC - Have a good walk.

Daff - Have a good day hun.

Morning all.

I overslept, only been up 30mins lol. Oh, the shame on a sunny morning like this.

I'd better get off here and do something!

Lynda, I'll send my comments later, I haven't read it all yet :-)

Ooh TW stay-a-bed!

Haven't been on line all weekend, so had a lot of catching up to do.

Thanks for all your work, hope I have replied to everyone.

Thanks too for the 'seeds' Teresa'. Gosh, brain in gear now..lol

If you're going to write a piece of work, and its not a set piece just something you feel you want to do. What genre do you find yourself writing...is it a romantic love story, crime, horror etc,?

My natural inclination is to write crime/thrillers. My husband often says to me, can't you write anything 'nice', well to me this is nice - it's just the way my head works when writing...lol!

Lynda x

I am the opposite Lynda, I tend to go for people stories with romance and nostalgia but I also like to have descriptive parts (gardens etc) I rarely read crime so inclination is not to write it. My stories are not very commercial though, too 'nice'.

i like poetry it comes naturally ,where prose and short stories i find difficult to do

so i stay with what i do best...lol

Hi all,

just thought I would add a line about Haiku/Senryu poetry. I have had

some feedback today on the Haiku poem I sent out. For those of you

unfamiliar with it, there are lots of websites that cover the art of Japanese

poetry. Just google the name and there are lots of examples

I am but a novice, but enjoy the challenge !

Maggie

Maggie is so right Japanese forms of poetry are very artful , short but rewarding...

Good evening fellow writers,it's nice to be back,although still a bit wobbley :O) xx

Don't know if i'll be able to write set-piece this week but I do have a 'comical' poem,(written before my sickness).
I also have another poem,not quite finished yet,that came to me as I sat upright all night with bucket on my knees lol....while wating for the dawn to break.....

I have read some of your stories,thank you,and will send comments out soon.

Lol Maggie.... that is what I have been doing before I e-mail you back.... I wanted to know more about it!

Love

Hello Mau, hope you are feeling better? So sorry you have been so ill

join us when you are ready.

Hope you found it interesting Daff :))

Maggie

Good to see you back here Mau, labrynthitis is nasty my DiL had it last year and she took ages to shake it, the Dr gave her travel sickness tablets.

Hi Ann and Maggie nice to see you both.

Yes it was nasty Ann and very scary,had to crawl on hands and knees to loo ,everything was moving and couldn't keep food or drink down (*wonder if I lost any weight)...seriously though I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It's good to be able to walk straight without looking like a drunk lol......Dr. gave me strong tabs. I felt dopey... ahem yes more than usual ;o)
Hope your Dil has kept well since Ann
