Evening:-) J.D.Salinger just died. Oh how I loved Catcher in the Rye! But I was very young at the time and it was THE book to read:-) XX

How old was he BC? I didn't read Catcher in the rye till quite late on.

91, Rose, I believe. I am off to read up on him as I can''t remember anything else he wrote! XX

J.D. Salinger, 1919—2010

“I love to write and I assure you I write regularly…
but I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And
I want to be left alone to do it.”

Hint Hint to Bulgarian lodger....lolol....

this Bulgarian lodger sounds intriguing lol

So JD was a good age... though seeing his DOB just brought it home to me that if my mum were alive she would have been 90 this year ... doesn't time go fast !

I will confess I've never read 'Catcher in the Rye' though always meant to. Something I will have to catch up with methinks.

I've sort of done my set piece,but I haven't done much of anything else so far. Busy listening to Blair at the moment...(getting in the frame of mind for a bit of fiction maybe? hehe)

How are we all doing? Are we ready to send out tomorrow?

Hi TW:-) Have just finished off Miriam but so sorry have had no time to do the piece which was set out.....Have once more totally forgotten how to send my piece to everyone..*sobs....lol...

i haven't done anything, didn't fancy the set piece and it took me ages to do the piece i was set for my local writing group, so haven't anything to send out really..looking forward to reading everyone else's though

BC did you put us all in a group? if so, just type the name of the group into the address bar thingy.

Don't forget to paste your piece into the body of the email too lol

No problem Stella, none of us are obliged to do something...

I've done a set piece,very quickly I might add, and have kept my other poem for a later date.

I haven't your Email address TW

I have done a set piece and, if everyone can stand it, I have the third chapter to send out of All the Fun of the fair. Mau, have you had chapter two?

Yes you've sent me the second part Ann,looking forward to the third.........

Teresa, or anyone who knows...I know I sound thick ! but how do you put everyone into a group to email please ??

Maggie

Glad you asked, Maggie, I am making very heavy weather of putting everyone together! oops...I am a poet! lol Teresa will talk us through I am sure:-))

Thanks for kind comments everyone:-)

Well I couldn't get the group to work on windows mail like I used to on outlook express so. I opened a word document. Then I took one of Jill's that had all the addresses on it, copied and pasted into the word doc and now I copy and paste from that. I obviously had to add the couple that joined in later.

Evening ladies, I have just come in, literally, not even got my coat off yet and sat down to see who has emailed :))

BC, would you ever stop writing so well as to make me sick ? LOL
" ...hair like an upside down tulip."..
.how good is that ? I haven't even got beyond that yet and just had to comment lol

xx

Good that wasn't it Rose. Are we sending today or tomorrow. Did BC just want to impress us all first so we would feel ours wasn't good enough to send.. Well you succeeded BC. Loved it!!

I haven't read it yet, but saw a preview, and that's my favourite phrase Rose.

Ok, see if your email contacts have groups available, they usually do. if so, create a group and move everyone into it. Then when you go to send an email out, all you need do is type in the name of the group. It will automatically go to those you have in the group.

Anyone seen our leader?

Ann, I think BC has company coming so she's sent out a day early. lol (either that or she got all excited because she found out how to send to everyone )
