Weens commented on Stormbride's wall:
Welcome back. I'm not on here much due to still working on course. But I'll be back June for a few months, before next one starts. Only two more modules the BAhons (in theory). Sorry to have missed you.

sirtanicmills commented on Weens's wall:Hi Weens, good to see that you still pop into WC. You won't recognise the name, but we used to chat a lot - it would be about the time you were starting your course. I had a different monicker then ;-)

About
I am housebound due to ME/Chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and Chrones disease. Consequently, I have to rest for a large portion of the day, I also have to have 'activity periods' between the rest. For years, I have been filling these up with, reading, watching TV etc. Two years ago, I dragged myself into the twenty first century and bought a computer that was internet ready. (My previous computer was twenty years old, need I say more). This proved to be quite a turning point in my life. Suddenly, I had the world at my doorstep. I now am less isolated and have contact with the outside world again. Making friends on sites like this has been wonderful for me. Once I had the computer, I decided to have a go at writing the book that has been in my head for years. Once I started writing, I couldn't stop. I enjoy it so much. I would never have dreamt it would give me so much pleasure and satisfaction. I love this site, reading others work and critiques. I have learned so much, and I really enjoy conversing with like minded people. I have had a tiny article (and I mean tiny), published in a magazine, and I have just finished a creative writing course with the Open University. Well, that's me in a nutshell. If I haven't spoken to you, please come and speak to me. I don't bite, honest.

by Elysia 12 days agoHi Weens - how are you? So nice to hear from you again! Without boring you, life is kicking my butt a little bit right now (we've all got this lurgy that is taking AGES to go away - I think we've had it on and off now since November - Emily still isn't sleeping through and the boiler packed up this morning... talk about wanting to scream!), so I've not had much time to do anything much at all. Still, never mind - tomorrow is another day!! xx -
