Thanks for reminding us about the rules Dottie which turn out to be guidelines, theirs a good difference in the connotation. I read them in the way in and haven’t looked at them since theirs nothing untoward in them and thankfully a filter that keeps safe from attack some of the other people in this sight (words can be and are painful, judgment especially). One thing that’s special about the guidelines is the reference to (freedom) religion or spirituality, and leaving each to their own. I really like that I think sometimes for some people when they feel they have nothing left in this world all they may have is their version of their god and how important that in itself is.

Hannalore you collect the similes all you want lol, can I collect your wit your funny and upbeat and I have never found you to be offensive, you’re just lovely….

Lynie…… .. Just clicked on your link and had a wee browse through your sight (that sort of things or checking peoples profile never really occurred to me till now)……..That’s a pretty open and commendable sight. Congratulations for facing and being successful in the process in your private life. Making it public exceptionally brave and commendable. I do believe the sharing of trouble helps other people in similar situations through the process of identification, I strongly believe that and at times just what a life saver this process can be. …… Yea I imagine the feelings of vulrability or exposure from the publication to be high but you went ahead and published anyway, with such a potentially high personal risk …..Say’s something good, resilient and strong about your character.

I have never published anything, I know Popea has a good few publications and has dune for a long time, stories and poetry. I do a bit of poetry and writing myself but tend to keep it more to myself, selfishly its myself I write for, more the process of writing that aids me. I am happy enough with that at the moment.

I have been dyslexic for most of my life, well the part were you start reading and writing from lol …before that who knows lol… .. It took until I was 24 for this to be discovered….long story…So keeping written things private to avoid comment been my default pattern, but I found ways round that (god bless computers) since then theirs been no stopping me studying, which was always considered by myself to be beyond my grasp and encourage by a few others to be this way too, but here we are lol I am having the last laugh and enjoying learning to the full extent of my capabilities………I express my creativity in different forms and in different mediums. I have found the perfect ones for me or alternatively I am just perfect for them……either way something that fits perfect for everyone, I am just thankful I found mine

Oh even better I worked out to write in word doc. Spell cheek and cut and past ……taaaaaraaaaa cant think why I hadn’t thought of it earlier

Now delighted ….celtic_flame
