They're supposed to be in your head, dear... Relax! Stop & enjoy that latte!

Gather your marbles together, girl!

*tapping foot* Get busy on here again, girl!

*bear hugs*

So are you living in Japan temporarily, or have you grown up there? Visiting Japan really interests me, but the culture shock kind of scares me.

Hey man

If I can say so, don't think about "not being able to do poetry" just freaking do it. It's all about personal expression and we'll all guide you as you develop. Just don't be afraid to express yourself.

Wow. Thanks for the critique round two...really appreciated. I put one of your works on my reading list...critique coming soon!

Hey! I loved your story, The Frog Prince. You have taken a children's story to a whole new level! I hope to hear from you on my scratchpad! Read my works sometime, too!

Hey...thanks for the feedback...much appreciated. I totally agree on the cliched "half the man" line...I hated putting it, I felt like I was writing a country western song. Anyways, I'm going to play around it with it and see if I can clear up the message.

Thanks again.

I am CRACKING UP at my new picture!!!

*BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE* I found some writers' conferences to go to here in FL! One is totally awesome - the Seven Hills Writers' Retreat *drools* one on one discussions with agents and a manuscript review! *swoons* But, it's too soon for my precious novel... So I'll wait for next year. Gonna start going in July! *BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE*

YAYYY!! I'm EXHAUSTED. I went back to karate after 3 weeks... I'm telling you, my sensi was out to get me! All sorts of kicks, even forward and backwards across the room... several times...! I'm amazed I'm still able to walk!

Sorry I missed the chat session last night! I was watching Star Wars: A New Hope with Marvin. I'll be posting my first chapter today... finally!

Knowing your determination and passion you'll make square one a rather funky circle one in no time! Keep stabbing away at it and you'll get there...

Thank you for showing me this place.

Thanks for the great critique!

Anytime! I love reading other people's stuff, and I think giving someone a two sentence critique is kind of cheating them. (Plus, my inner editor would go nuts. ) Have a great day!

Hey!!! Glad you joined us!
