Afternoon ladies,

I am happy to receive anything that comes my way lol... but I am having trouble writing :(

I've done the set piece and whooshed along to the 500 words with it...but I know I can't finish it as a story, the characters won't play lol.

xx

Thanks Julie Ann, received it.

looking forward to reading it Julie Ann

Teresa, yes OK, I will go with your idea. But we need a bit more input when others come on to get all the viewpoints.

I might send one of mine round today and the longer one over the weekend.

wow just sent my first short story,
hope its type of thing we are looking at,

will try to send another soon

thanks for that teresa
i gotta get round to attempting it,
xx

Send them as an email Julie Ann. Best to put them in the body of the email too, rather than as an attached file. We all use so many different programs we came up with a lot of problem opening some of them.

omg just filtered thru my emails,
i got somuch to read,

im so rubbish,

have picked up some ideas too,

but not sure if i shud ad my storys when written up here or on emails

I'd say set the project on Sunday, which can then be sent EITHER on thursday or Sunday, at our own choosing. As said, some may prefer to send once a week anyway, or might be working and not be able to work on it until the weekend or whatever. and free writing or own projects can be sent on either or both of those two days too.

But I'll leave it to what everyone else thinks...we're all in this together...

that would be fine with me, twice weekly but no obligation.

How about if a weekly 'task'/project was set on Sunday for Thursday then the weekend for 'free' writing/own projects?
Would that work?

800th post haha


That's ok, if you want to send out twice weekly, how about Sundays and Thursdays?

I only suggested once a week because we were getting snowed under, and we were spending all our time replying rather than writing

But again, none of us are under any obligation to send on both days. We all write at different pace, so it really needs to be a flexible as possible.

Difficult to find a middle route isn't it?

Morning Ann. Yes I enjoy a bit of pressure but some folks are working etc and it may put THEM under undue pressure! Anyway it would be nice to get everyones views. XX

BC, I have finished mine and the weekly project and gone on to the next chapter of my main one, but must admit I would prefer to be a bit more under pressure, more 'fun' that way and, as you say so easy to go off the boil.

My 'piece' has been ready for days but I keep on tweaking it and changing a word. It has quietened down a bit hasn't it, maybe we should have our stuff sent out TWICE a week? Just to keep us at it? Or not., What do you think? BC XX

Sorry got called away.....yes remember now Maggie was sending (this Sunday's) early, so probably tomorrow then...

gets confusing sometimes lol

Have done so now TW.

I've done that too Ann, but you just have to write yourself out of it.

she is going away for the weekend so i would expect her to send it tomorrow

xx

I got those, but Maggie wanted to send this week's early as she's hoping to get away this weekend, but it doesn't look like she's sent them yet.

Teresa, most of the time it is but I have been in a bit of a dark place the last 2 evenings with my piece and found it really hard to come back to earth. got through that now so OK.
Mau, yes I did have those 2 pieces but Maggie was going to send her pieces for this weekend out early as she is going away.
