Jane, write this down...

to copy and paste from a word document (your writing) into an email..

1. open an email ready to send.

2. open the piece you want to send.

3. drag your cursor, the little arrow, over all of the writing you want to copy, so there is a big blue line through it all. (Highlighted)

4. right click on your mouse to open a menu, and click on copy.

5. go to your email and click where you want the writing to go

6. right click your mouse for the menu and select paste. click on it and VOILA!

BC, I'm happy with doing it via email especially as we are all pasting our work directly into an email now. But if others prefer to use google, then that's fine by me. I think the risks of copying into the email itself are minimal though. We're only passing it among friends, and it was said earlier, we have to trust one another, and assume that nobody will pass our work on, or pass anything nasty to us. It just won't happen. We all have anti virus on our PC's, or we shouldn't be using them. :-)

But I'll be more than happy to go with the majority, makes no difference to me as long as the group keeps going, because I'm having such fun now.

I am happy with doing it as we are doing but like TW I will go with the majority. And I am having fun too, except my brain wont stop thinking up things to write about.

Quite right girls, let us stay as we are, am just getting the hang of it anyway! My son put the wind up me I have to say! lol I agree, Ann, I am thoroughly enjoying this and composed my poem whilst walking the dog this morning...poor doggie:-) lol XX

Brilliant Ann, it was only two days ago that you said you couldn't think of any ideas, now you've got them coming out of your ears. Why? Because you've got your writing brain into gear by exercising it. How? By writing.

simples.

And it was brilliant BC...... and sad, you are not intending it to be used just yet are you I hope???

Teresa, it is very strange isn't it. I have always enjoyed writing and I suppose it is having somebody to write for. There didn't seem any point before. Still not sure about poetry though. I have a couple more if anybody has time to read them. (short poems)

Send them out Ann, it's all practise.

In fact, I did write one this afternoon, more of a muse than a poem, I'll send it on.

I've always got time for reading Ann :)

Btw Teresa, bags I first option on the 'death by wok' idea lol..if we do a murder story at some point ;)

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.

OK will do, bedtime reading coming up.

No problem Stella we all have another life outside of GR.

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.

Helen x

have pmd you Helen

Thanks Stella, I'll look for it.

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

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

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.

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

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.
