Everybody who writes is a writer. I didn't think I could be a writer, but with the time and effort and the encouragement of others, I am now. I loved Violet's story. I loved the magic in it in juxtaposition with the sometimes awfulness of life. It's beautiful and a well-deserved win. That's worthy of a celebration. I can't honestly say that I've read the others, but I'd like to. So many stories that should be read. Congratulations to everyone who took the time and effort to write - that in itself is an accomplishment and you should all be proud of being writers.

Recently I discovered some books on Mythology on my boss's bookshelf. The Greek Myths looked interesting and they are.

Four thousand nine hundred thirteen. 

Contented bliss. 

I did some writing and I met a trio of friends who have become very near and dear to me on the internet, something I would have been too busy to do had life remained "normal". 

It's quite simple. Those of us who are civilized and stick our pinkies out whilst drinking tea use courgette and aubergine. My user happened while Violet was talking me into joining and we were joking around about vegetables. I'll leave it at that. lol 

Violet enticed me to join and said I should try to write some stories that aren't... *coughs* so I did and It was fun so I might do more of it.
