"MinxieAD" commented on CJ's Blog "And the dream lives on!".It doesn't surprise me that there is interest in your work but for things to happen all at once like this is totally amazing! You must be happy, confused, excited, muddled and focused all at the same time, let alone all the other emotions trying to ...

MinxieAD I bumped into my friend Anna on Monday who came out of the closet about her writing! (Not sure why there's so many closet writers, but there you go.) She was shocked to find out that I too like to write and I proceeded to invite her to join the Cloud (hope she does) which led to her inviting me to a Friday writing group with other closet writers who make you promise to not tell a soul about their involvement in the black ink art... We've both been doing 'it' since we were small and have been friends for 10 years-ish.1 day ago

Esme D I found closet artists, but so far no writers - when I asked at the library about the writing group that meets there I was told "It's just old ladies writing poems about kittens". btw, thanks for the introduction to Hinder on your page :)

"MinxieAD" commented on CJ's Blog "And the dream lives on!".
Wow!!! Congratulations on both counts, CJ. I'm a believer in everything happening for a reason and it's too much of a coincidence that these two events have coincided with each other! Now you can let your creativity run riot and have time with ...

stephen mark Funny you should say that, Tony. I am quite amazed by the number of typos and other errors to be found in the conventionally published. Even my elleven-year old son is now pointing them out. Things aint what they used to be. In my day....

Such a gorgeous location! I doubt I'll make it but this is something I would love to do some time in the future, so thanks to you for organising such events. I hope it's a successful weekend for everyone involved...

MinxieAD commented on stephen mark's wall:
Thanks Stephen. I'm okay now but haven't been about much as my brother's moving to Cambodia on Monday, so spending as much time with him as I can. I'm hoping to be able to visit in October - depending on funds. On the egg front, there are now 8 ...

MinxieAD commented on FredaPeople's wall:
Do you think I should go back in and edit the ending so the Green Man wins? It may be worth a go :) I'm feeling fine now but sorry to hear you've not been well too! Hopefully the glorious summer we're due this year will see us right? Fingers ...

"MinxieAD" commented on CJ's Blog "Black Smokers is being published! ".
I knew it would happen, it was just a case of when! So happy and excited for you as it is so well deserved! I can't help but wonder if you'll be designing the cover yourself? I have my own picture in my head but it's probably all wrong! Doing a ...

"MinxieAD" commented on EmmaD's Blog ""Who is the judge that sits perpetually in your head?"".
A little harsh but very true! I'm going to remember those words as I tend to jump about so I can write the bits I like and leave the difficult scenes for a later which I put off for far too long - in some cases forever! If it's bad I can revisit ...

by Daedalus 10 days agoGlad you liked the story. I think the word count is 'around 300 words', so a bit of overspill is fine. Last month I tried to keep religiously to under 300, but it's very difficult compared with 300-and-a-bit, surprisingly so in fact. -
by Caf 1 month agoYes, you are definitely a Cloudie! I was boasting about you the other day, this fascinating lady I'd met on the Cloud who liked Harleys and Steam Engines and camping!! So different, so interesting!! -
by Caf 1 month agoGreat minds and all that Minxie!! It's actually a play mentioned in Parson's Advanced Bridge (a book I'm still busy writing) it's called the Bacchanian Finesse. There is another, really easy way to win at social Bridge, you just learn the basics, and then learn how to Score. Never fails, no-one wants to Score, so you just pretend to be a bit reluctant, sigh and then agree. I've won every time by doing that!! Not quite sure what to call it yet, cheating seems a bit obvious!

by Caf 1 month agoHi again, forgot to tell you, Bridge was a bit stressful today, I forgot my wine!! Plus, as I got there this 'woman' came running up to me and said "Oh Caf! I'm so glad you're here, you're so nice, and I don't feel any stress when I'm competing against you!" Huh, and at first I thought she was complimenting me!!!
