Hello Max,

Whilst you wander about your tempest may your isolation bring you solace and newness of life, albeit a different life existence without your beloved's physical presence. To write is to explore, to feel, to explain, to wish, to love and to release. Please, do not become isolated from your quill...!!!

I send you my heartfelt best wishes to you and yours in these difficult times.

Love ya,
Spargo Postle

Hello Janet,

Very interesting, thank you. Alas poetry is not mentioned, it very rarely is. I am guessing, because I am lazy and not bothered to research, but poetry is a very small audience genre.

Again, thanks for the notes very useful, I think I will now go and plan that book I have promising to write : )

Love ya,

Hello. Charles,

Seriously, do people still say that? I haven't heard either of those expressions for the past twenty years, maybe even longer. Please, send my compatriots back to England they need to be re-booted into this century. But, only if they are English, of course.

Have a truly lovely day, mate.

Love ya,

Hello Janet,

Very true, and the really sad fact is that even when I ask my word document to write in English English it still tells me that what I learnt in my youth is now incorrect. But of course I refuse to agree with spellchecker.

Thank you for pointing out this issue, it can sound somewhat impolite to continually tell people that how you have spelt a word is actually correct, for English English

Love ya,

Hello Janet & njc,

I am almost certain it will be 100 words, but for those that write 200 and can't work out why they have been evicted from the contest it would be a shame.

Love ya,

Hello SolN,

Sorry to say but the rules in paragraph 1 are incorrect. Mentions 100 words and then states EXACTLY 200 words!!! Some, most likely just me, may get something wrong.

Love ya,

Don't stop being raw, please.

The site looks a hell of a lot different. Will take me a while to get back into knowing what to do... Actually I never did anyway

I hope you don't mind if I join this group? You see, I miss the sort of people that hang out here...
