Oh there's some awesomes in the book too, but then it is set in rural New Zealand so I'm going to run with that."


Actually, I recall hearing that word a few times recently on TV. Just like anything else, it could be making a comeback. Go with it!

201765 So true, Anna. I encourage all authors to come out of their "writing cave," and give the kitchen table a try, or even a tray on the sofa. Hugs

Anna, Thank you for your understanding and acceptance.

No, I'm not a published author... yet... I truly am working on it. Whenever I write something and edit it, if something feels wrong, I think about it and make a note. Then I go back later and read it again. If it still bothers me, I change it. Good luck with the book. Hugs.

201765 Help, please. On Medium there was an icon to post our stories to Facebook, but it's gone. How do I post my stories to FB now?

Here's my latest. Hugs to All!

201765 Anna,
Sorry for diverting the conversation of your thread. I started it and am sorry. Hugs

Alex,
You're right. No matter where we live, we have each other to communicate with and lean on. Hugs

Alex, we may live across the world away, but we are two peas in a pod. I'm glad we can relate to each other. Hugs

I also flap my hands when I get excited (it's an autistic stim)"


Alex, you say whatever you want. I've been known to say "Awesome!" which is outdated. Hugs

You're welcome, Anna. That sounds good. Wishing you the best on publication. Hugs

Congratulations, Dale! Before Medium changed their payment method, that might have been $50 or more. Hugs

201765 Hi Anna! Hope all is well with you. Congratulations on your upcoming book!!

In my polite opinion, a macho man would most likely not say "Yay." I'm thinking of movies I've seen and I recall terms such as "Yeah," or "Great!" Sorry if those don't work. Hugs

201765 Deb and Alex,
Funny... and sad, but true. I'm embarrassed to report I posted a loss.
Hugs to All!

201765 Hugs to All, hoping you are well and staying safe. It took a lot out of me to get this out, but I just published An Ode to Mother’s Day. I know I have a lot of catching up to do. Hugs, Sam

I completely agreed with you, Carole."


Thank you, too, Alex. You know how hard it is and how much it hurts. Hugs
