General Chat

I am trying my hardest to keep up with the writing - this has opened some sort of floodgate though!

Pages and pages of it!

Rach - IF you put the champagne down, or better still, lob it my way, you'd be able to stay "awake" for long enough to do the reading ... LOL

can I just make a general comment on here , as it is something I have noticed in several of the pieces and it might be useful just to mention to everyone.

The use of exclamation marks , whilst we all do it on here for extra emphasis (!!!!! ) , you should only use one ! at the end of a sentence :)

Hi all please don't think I am ignoring your work its just that I am having trouble staying "up" at the minute so I am backing out until I feel up to it but I will be back keep writing

i think it's more enjoyable to stick with what you feel comfortable writing Maggie..

and your poetry is lovely and well written ...

Can I please say (collectively) that I have just finished all the stories and found them fascinating (and autobiographical ?? most of them anyway gave me that impression)
I have tried and tried to write a short story and they have ended up in the bin..lol
So, this is where I say, I'll stick to the poetry for now and have another go later.

i think i have read and commented on all or most pieces now.I have thoroughly enjoyed reading so many varied methods of writing.

if i have missed commenting on anything please would you tell me, as it would not have been intentional

I still have lots to get through,but have been too busy today.I will get there though.I promise!

Maggie, I am sure everyone will agree when I say there is no rush to comment. Just enjoy (or otherwise all that is sent out.

Hello everyone....
I am managing to comment on the poems to each of you, but the stories are taking longer and I can't keep up..lol
I will read all eventually and catch up, didn't want you to think I was ignoring you !

Maggie

Yes, I've had them all thanks Ann and thought they were all very good. I was a bit spooked by the one you wrote about your first grandchild though Ann, not in a bad way I might add, but because it's so very much like a poem I wrote when our first child, my daughter was born!!! How weird is that. I will send it out so you can see what I mean.

Also, I need Helen's and the other ladies email addys please when they can get them to me.

Jen did you also have Night visitor?, Our Grandchildren, First Grandchild?

Ann, I have received your poem 'Different Friends'. I liked it very much. Don't know if I've missed anything of yours Ann.

Thanks Stella, I'll look for it.

have pmd you Helen

Hi, I have something ready to send to you all but don't have all your email addresses yet, perhaps you could pm me with them?

I've received several people's poems, thank-you.

OK will do, bedtime reading coming up.

Damn! Ok Rose you win this time PMSL..

It does have a certain appeal doesn't it?

I've sent my first ever poem out to you, sorry I forgot to put my name and date on it. It's called Sunday Afternoon.
