General Chat

Depends on the camera but sometimes photos get saved to the main camera as well as the memory card.

Afternoon folks:) Is anyone else curious about the list of people we send our writing to and the non acknowledgement or responses? I don't mind scattering my *ahem.. talents willy nilly, but if folks are just not interested in reading our stuff could they let us know. That would be nice.

Over and out;))

BC XX

Roger....copied and agree ;O) X

Evening all:) ~~~~~~BC and Mau

Yes,it would be good to have at least an acknowledgement.There are a few that I have never heard from since day one!

I have cut down my email list to just 6 now, the ones who do respond.

BTW, have yours to read yet, Rose and Ann, will do so tomorrow !

No rush Maggie.
BC as you know I do agree with you. We have a list of at least 14 people, we know TW will come back asap and Angela too has excused herself. I am puzzled as to why everybody else that doesn't respond has bothered to join the group. I thought by joining you professed an interest in writing.
Rose, BC, Maggie, Bridget, Mau, Daff (usually), Thank you for always replying to anything sent out. And Tricia, Joy, Sylvia and Helen for occasionally replying. If you really are interested it doesn't take long to rattle of a 'thanks for that' e mail.

Hi all, just nudging this up to ask, has this project waned a little?

I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I have read, and never pretended to know about the technicalities of writing.

As I said earlier, I am now down to 6 people I send my hard written work to,please let me know if you no longer wish to receive it.

I do have a blog on the internet for serious readers of my poetry, as I write more than I send !

Maggie , I don't have your blog addy :((

I do think that perhaps this may be more a winter thing? when it gets dark at 4 maybe people are more inclined to write do you think?

I suppose it also depends a lot on whether writing is something that you just would 'like' to do or you 'have' to do... ,if you follow me...I know i have to scribble down poems even if no one but me ever sees them, lol.

xx

I have just started to go through them, lol.... I will catch up, I promise... *stuff* going on has been a bit difficult... I am writing, but not for public viewing, not at the moment.... but I love reading your work, and I promise not to leave it so long before I respond again.....

Love

Daff xxxxxx

A few more prompts if anyone is stuck

First lines:
The ringing phone filled her with dread.
I walked to work today.
The lights appeared out of the darkness.
I remember the day.
Everyone in the office turned and stared.
They turned and hurried back down the steps.

Titles:
Road to Nowhere.
A Time to Love.
Journey of Kindness.
Garden of Joy.
Fields of Heaven
The Touch of Fear.




And there are still the first lot I found and put up.

Thanks Ann :))

Thanks for those Ann :)

The "Road to Nowhere" sounds a bit prophetic...I might take a break from 'Martin' to write a really miserable poem on that ;) lol

xx

told you lol

"Road to Nowhere"

I’m on the road to nowhere
Leaving you behind
Farewell words and memories
Ropes and chains to bind.
No new horizon beckons
No star to light my way
Just painful step by step
Toward a future made of grey.

Lol..Rose !

Edited after I read it...

Good Rose.

*clears throat. And so, Rose, how has your week gone?

LOL Love the sheer misery of your poem......

XX

Thanks Ann good list there

Rose that sounds like a poem about Mary Queen of Scots or even for some of Henry's wives ;O(

LOL BC you made me laugh...now THAT takes skill today ...you have to laugh don't you? we always have had a talent for misery in our family lol, but it goes so low that you end up laughing at the sheer absurdity of it ;)

lol Mau, could be couldn't it? heading off to the chopping block ;)

xx

Just seen your road to nowhere Rose Lol!!! Hope your day is better today!

From the road to nowhere
The way back you need to find
Cast off all those woes
Ignore all the lows
Leave all your misery behind


Sorry I am rubbish at poetry. Hopefully the pure awfulness of it will cheer you up!!!

Sending out ch 13 as my pc keeps crashing. bought another one so will be off line while OH puts it in for me and transfers stuff etc. Can pick up e mails on his laptop though.

On the new PC now.

Thanks to everyone who commented on my poems this week, and thanks

also for the work sent to me which I enjoyed reading :)

Has anyone an idea for this week ? Or shall we choose something

from your earlier suggestions Ann?
