OK thanks all.

Apologies to everyone who has sent me their writings and I haven't replied to. The talent in this group is really amazing.

My difficulty at the moment is two fold...work load is increasing by the day and there is so much written work to do ready for an audit next Tuesday, and my main help is now off sick for then days. OH does not want me to work at home, so pressure is on.
Also had an amazing contact re my husbands side of my tree. A long lost aunt of my OH was very difficult to trace as the family virtually disowned her for her wilful ways!!! Two of her sisters adopted her children when she died. Well on Saturday a relative of those children contacted me wit h an amazing amount of knowledge all verified BUT he also does not wish me to disclose it to anyone. A strange co-incidence is that my twin sons lived about one mile away from him when they were at University in Wales. How spooky is that.
Maybe when I have finished writing my story I will write about this find.

To everyone who has sent me poems. stories etc THANK YOU and I have read them and will comment after Tuesday of next week.

Have to get redy for work now

No pressure Bridget, concentrate on work first and harmony in the home!! We can wait. Good luck with the audit, I know how nerve wracking they can be.

*sighs....have run out of steam...lol...have been reading back on the hints and tips on this thread, all welcome and valid and will add my favourite one and one which I constantly have to be aware of ...'kill your darlings'!!!

Anybody else having a lull? XX

Nooo BC you can't have a lull ! I want to know what happens next ;) I won't be writing much for the next few weeks as I have to get on with the painting , but will take a notebook over there just in case lol.

xx

Ihate killing my darlings, I know what you mean BC, but sometimes you have to. If they are not essential to the story.

Stephen King said, final draft is first draft minus ten per cent. Damn right lol

I've had a lull in sending stuff out, but I'm working on some...

Rose a story about somebody moving into a new house and what they find behind the wallpaper????? Or maybe you find BC's Miriam in the cellar!

Dont' get too enthusiastic and start scribbling notes all over the wall Rose lol

.Sorry Ann but Miriam is very busy right now trying to organise a few things! ...was thinking of killing her as she is annoying me today! pmsl

Just shut her in the cupboard under the stairs until she learns to behave BC....

BC.. I lurve Miriam. You cannot kill her off. I want her to have a 'thing' with the monster who dyed her hair...lol

Maggie

*shocked...but he is GAY Maggie! Isn't he? *scratches head....lolol

You can't kill Miriam lol... "never kill off your main character ", your readers won't forgive you ! can you imagine what people would have thought of her if JK had killed off HP ! lol

lol Rose, not quite the same is it....XX

I don't see why not BC ! lol Miriam might not stretch to 5 books but she is certainly good for one :)

Please don't kill off Miriam! You can't.There will be a protest if you do lol

*lets Miriam out of the cellar if she promises to be very good.....lolol....

You can only kill her off when she's had some fun out of life lol...she has to have a lover and find her father and her siblings and become what she has never been allowed to be ! ( I am taking her to heart you see lol )

and she has to have a new wardrobe as well lol

xx

I htink you might be out-voted by several to one here BC.

yes, you're right i forgot to put it in... dozy me..lol
