OK, I'll give it a go :-D

I'm happy to be more of a reader though for the moment, as I'm going to be quite heavily involved in the upcoming Brighton Festival in May. After that, I should have more time, gardening permitting!

Readers are always welcome Wend :-)

Loved the new ideas, will give a really short story a go

Jan

Forgive me for not contributing yet, have been busy finalising the decorating, clearing up, reframing photos to go back on the wall, supervising the resident electrician as he puts new lights in and cooking tonights dinner. I will have a look later and see what I can do.

Hi Fellow Scribblers :-D ~~~~~~

Sorry I haven't contributed any writing of late,had so much 'going on' at home.
I have a half written story,an idea for a poem and lots of lists ...written in the car today while travelling back and forwards to Edinburgh!(darn hard to do while driving lol )
So will hopefully,fingers crossed, get something finished eventually

Good to see lots of suggestions on the thread :-D

Mau, we look forward to those lists being transcribed into best sellers!! :-D

*frets....Ann she will be finding it difficult as I notice she has her fingers crossed, but hey... go for it Mau! :-D :-D

Nah BC our Mau can multi task fingers crossed and behind her back and type with her toes!

Hi BC and Ann ~~~~ everything's well now thank you :-D ......
.....and thanks for the vote of confidence Ann lol

Typing and multi-tasking is such a drain and a chore :-| admire Houdini even more now,than ever ;-)....but typing plays havoc with the toes not to mention playing 'keepy uppy' :-0

Dizzi she sounds a very determined and feisty character. I guess that you take after her in personality. :-)

I sent out a piece yesterday because I won't be here over the weekend so nothing from me for a while.

Thankyou Ann, reminded me of when Dan was little and we used to go to the harbour :-)

suggested scenario

local romeo and the butcher
conflict...... ownership argument
weather...... winters day
setting....... a butchers shop
object .........a leg of lamb

thanks Jan, can I add a few more as well as the poets don't normally do scenarios. When they write!!!

Suggest you attempt Jan's first as I don't want to 'hog' the limelight. If anyone wants to know where you can get these scenarios they are from the fiction squares in the magazine called Writers forum. I don't throw a dice but get OH to give me numbers and use pieces of paper with numbers on if he is not around so that I can't make the scenario 'fit' my own ideas.

I have just sent out one using Jan's scenario.

Hello :-) and thank you to all who have sent me pieces, I promise I am reading and enjoying, even though I am getting behind with commenting this week.

Thank you all for your contributions, just catching up. A bit like Rose at the moment. The stories are coming in thick and fast and enjoying each one and I thank you for sending them to me.
I have been away for my birthday, and will send you soon my little poem I wrote this weekend.
If I don't answer personally, please rest assured I have read, digested and enjoyed !

It is so nice to have new input into our little group :))

Maggie xx :-)
