Just fumbling back to reality after birthday celebrations in Dublin, so will read all offerings as soon as I can focus :-D XX BC

Back from hols, didn't have internet access while away so have some catching up to do. May be able to send out another chapter of the house today.

hello Everyone.
I am back from the UK, been back twice in four weeks for weddings, hope there isn't a third on the way, I will run out of money, on flights, hotels, presents and airpprts...hmmm maybe there is a story waiting to be written???

I have a subject in mind so will try to give it ago very soon. I now have my comp in the room extension we built a couple of years ago and looking aut at the sea, mountains etc makes me feel very peacful.
So please remind me, can i write about anything I wish or is there a lsit I have to choose from??



:-D

Loved the latest poem from Maggie.

Thankyou everyone for sending your work to me, I AM getting there with reading, honest lol.

Ann, I have been reading a book and doing just that !

The more I read, Ann, the more I feel really inadequare as a writer :-( But it doesn't stop me! lol BCXX

Do you find that, since you have been writing more, when you actually read a novel you are sort of disecting it to see where the author's ideas come from and how they work the plot out?

Thanks, Ann.

there are two columns Helen. I have just included the ones on the left, I think Rose has included more. To follow the magazine accurately it should be one or the other but, as the aim is to help you write a story I don't think it matters too much

Do you need to include all of the ones or twos?

Well done on your latest one Rose.

Good, I keep looking at it, might have a go myself.

I might give it a go Ann :-)

No takers then?

Anyone want a jog. I got the following by using random numbers on a grid in Writers Forum magazine

Character 1)grumpy grandfather 2) Dog walker

Conflict 1)Getting lost 2)Not getting what you expected

Weather 1) Torrential rain 2)windy

Setting 1) beach 2)Funfair

Object 1) A folding chair 2) cherries

The idea being that you write a story based on either (1) or (2)

Not sure if that is clear.

~~~~ thanks to Magnolia and Ann for poems, just doing housework :-( but will read soon!

may put up a thread re writers and readers and books, for general response, so please add if you wish and it may give us some ideas!
