Thanks for the email Teresa. I am quite happy to carry on as we are, and you never know, people may come back in the future.

Thats good news Maggie, thank you.

I'll also apologise for sending some stuff out today, a Tuesday *slaps wrist*. As I was the one who instigated sending out on specific days, or closest to it if away, then I go and clutter your inboxes with my stuff on a Tuesday! *tsk*

But that's because I didn't get to do it on Sunday. It won't happen again. Thursdays and Sundays will be adhered to in future lol

I have to say it doesn't bother me at the moment which days stuff is sent as we are not getting a lot.

TeresaW

TeresaW Report 16 Mar 2010 17:01

Me neither while it's quiet, but, if we were a real live writing group, we would all word to specific days. It's only that we have the advantage of email to send quickly and easily at our own convenience.

Mmm I know, Thursdays and Sundays then.

Hi All , ready to send out my latest tomorrow, but don't know who to send to :((

Any feedback from the email Teresa? I really don't want to bog people down if they don't want to read or comment.

Maybe I will hang on a while.

I'll check Maggie, I'm still waiting on some replies. I'd leave it until Sunday, I'll have a better idea then.

AnninGlos Report 17 Mar 2010 21:25

So we send to the whole group tomorrow then?

So, we hold on to our jewels until Sunday ? XX BC

I'd say just for this week, hang on till Sunday. I'll put an email round on Saturday letting you know the list of active members. It'll be up to you if you revise the list, from those who have not had the time to reply.


Any non-active members looking in, please dont' think you're about to be excluded in any way. That's not it at all. We're just trying to find out who still wants to read our work and who doesn't. None of us want to send our little darlings out to anyone who can't read it, it just clutters your inbox.

Feedback is important, so if anyone can just pop in a quick reply, no matter how brief, just to let us know it has been read and you enjoyed/hated it, that would be really great. xx

*admires TW...you have a way with words. Ever thought of writing? lol BC XXX

AnninGlos Report 18 Mar 2010 09:12

Lol BC!
Just a reminder, if you have not heard from Mau, she has labrynthitis so will probably not be able to look at her computer until she is better. I am sure she will still be with us though, she was very enthusiastic.

ButtercupFields

ButtercupFields Report 18 Mar 2010 10:17

Yes. Ann, Mau is slowly recovering but still wants to be part of our gang.....XXBC

TeresaW

TeresaW Report 18 Mar 2010 11:57

Thanks for that Ann, I'll keep Mau on the open list.

You know what BC? I never thought of that LOL

Ok, so far, we have nine definite active members (including Mau, who is only temporarily out of the picture). One Question mark, and two who are dropping out.

There are still some who haven't replied, but I will take it they have dropped out if there is no reply. However, the door is always open if anyone wishes to join/re-join us at any time.

Plenty of us to be going on with, so that's great. I'll send a new list around on Saturday.

Thanks for your hard work Teresa :)

I decided to come home early today, too tired to paint anymore , so came via the library, two books on writing :)) Now I must make sure I read them as well as, and not instead of, writing.

Hmm I have that problem Rose, got this book sitting here waiting to be read - Creativity by Jurgen Wolff, but haven't got round to reading past the first two or three pages yet!

AnninGlos

AnninGlos Report 18 Mar 2010 22:00

Just reading my book on creativity. It talks about the ‘imposter syndrome’—that feeling that at any minute the world may discover that we’re actually not qualified or not talented.

Do any of you feel like that? I do when I have written stories I feel it is presumptuous of me to think other people will like them.

Rambling Report 18 Mar 2010 23:01

Ann, I'm just getting to the bit about that in one of the 'writing' books ...that it is easy to think (especially when you are reading 'good' writers ie ones that you enjoy ) that you're not very good yourself...

will let you all know what it says tomorrow lol.

I read things and think 'what on earth am I doing imagining I might be able to write?' !
