Alright, I will give it a go tomorrow. Where do I post the stories?

If you would like to give me an email address BM, I will forward a list of current members emails when I have their permission to do so.

In the meantime I will send you a PM with my own email and then I will forward anything you wish to send, or if you wish you can just PM me the writing and I will forward it to members :-D

As I said earlier the scenarios given are good and the juices are flowing, but do you change them every month ?

Regards Jan

Jan, yes or you can ignore suggestions and go with your own ideas, we are not strict about it. We don't always have suggestions either unless somebody actually asks. We find the suggestions help get over a block. This time theyw ere taken with the help of the magazine Writers Forum which publishes a 'fiction' grid from which to choose the scenarios, plus a couple of extras from my 'brain'.
