Hello everyone. i used to be on here but was in awe of hoow well people wrote so stopped trying to add anything. However I am going home for good, have hung up my nurse uniform, put my badges in a safe place, put my fob watch back in its box, polished my last nurse shoes and have retired so I guess there is some scope for writing within that episode of my life ending.

I will not have access to the Intenet for about 8 days as we are taking the long way home, visiting family and friends on the way so do not give up on me

Bridget, we will look forward to hearing from you once you're settled back home :))

Chapter 29 sent out.

Just sent out chapter 30. Realised that I haven't proof read it so please be diligent and report back any errors to me if you don't mind. thanks.

Quite pleased as I have now written over 82000 words.

Thanks Ann,have received your chapter. I think you're so clever! 82000 words!! will read it soon and 'report back' lol

I'm afraid I'm a bit lax just now,sorry :O(.... I seem to be devoid of imagination at the moment,have made three attempts and now have (as they say in authors' circles) oooh...ahem......writers' block...phfft myself!

Mau xx

Come on Mau unblock whatever is blocked and get writing. I am fed up with talking to myself!

Thanks to those who proof read for me and found the 3 deliberate (not) mistakes.

*gives Mau an unblocker and pins gold Wordsmith of the Year on our Ann:-))) BC XXX

Ann, I'm fretting now because I only spotted 2 lol, well done for getting to that total of words! Out of interest does anyone know offhand how many words the average novel runs to these days? heads off to google >>>>>>

Why does Dyno rod suddenly spring to mind lol

There ya go Mau!
You could do a brief dissertation
On the constipation
of a nation..
There's your inspiration!

*falls about....lol BCXX

BC Lol lol!

Rose I think TW said about 90/100000 these days but 80000 is sometimes acceptable.

hahha BC.......you're mad you are girl ;Op X

Jeniwren, Jean, With my current piece we are on chapter 30. It would take too long to copy and send out each of those chapters so when I send the next chapter out to everyone I will send you something else I have done in the past year. Would that be OK?

Ladies, I have found a piece I wrote several years ago when the family bungalow was up for sale. I have tidied it up a bit and I will send it out.

thank you Ann, I look forward to reading that, will give me some idea of what I need to do, Thank you for the list of addresses.
Jean xx

Jean, if you get a lot all at once, don't panic, read in your own time, normally it is only about one piece a week each, sometimes two.

Lots of lovely stories or poems, received, thank-you. Just mulling over a new piece. It's hard when I'm not given a title or too, lol!

Sent chapter 31 out today, hope everyone received it.

Thankyou Ann , yes I have received and will read asap .I'm behind with everything today somehow ( lol probably because I keep stopping what I'm supposed to be doing to watch tv ).

Thanks also ladies for comments on my poem :) I was thinking it is rather strange that I seem to be writing poetry more these days, as it has always been prose I found easier? it seems to have switched lol though I have always loved reading poetry.

You seem to have found the rythym Rose and write the sort of poetry I enjoy. I also enjoy Maggie's but can never hope to replicate it. Lol!!!!
