Can I have a hug please?

There's also a pic of him on my GR author page."Not too sure what the Zon is but I did a search on the net because the name Groenendael sounded familiar. Those are awesome dogs! I want another hug!!
Sorry GG the Zon is Amazon. But only .co.uk. He's my avatar there.There's also a pic of the little darling having a snooze on my Goodreads profile page.
He is a hooligan. But he's immense fun and ever so well intentioned. He's just three and will maybe settle down in the next two years....
That's what I thought. Anyway...I went and snooped on your profile. HE IS SO HANDSOME!! Look at that beak! I just want to kiss it. Ok.. well i'm stealing another hug. Last one or there won't be any left for others.
I need a bloody big hug and an even bigger drink. Why?Because I have to accept that my betas have a point and rewrite the ending of my WIP.
Poop.....

It's a good job I love him!

I want an Imbolc scented Dog hug! Does he sill smell Imbolcy? It is two days later.
Hugs to all who need them. Lift up your spirits. Throw out the angsty stuff. Or at least set it aside for a hug.
Sorry to hear that Jane! It's a huge pain, but if it helps you'll be much happier with it in the end. I am, after rewriting the whole first half of my soon-to-be-released next book.*hugs* for all who need them.

Oh Jane that sucks! BUT just think about this. What if your betas hadn't caught the problem and you'd have published it this way? No, it's a pain to rewrite it but you will be so much more satisfied once done. :)
Aww big hugs Jane.But yeah, what GG said. <3
I have hugs to spare.
Jacqueline Rhoades (a fellow indie); successful awesome romance author (one of my faves) reviewed one of my books on Zon, and gave it 5*!!! <3 Eep!
Just realized my launch party is on Wed! And I haven't written up any of my posts yet! I paid for a FB ad and it has yielded 0 results and I think I'm about to have a panic attack! Hugs would be appreciated! I also have hugs for anyone else who needs them! Sorry about your rewrite Jane! Hugs!!!

Tee hee more like fairy Dogmother ;-)Breathe Ember!
You still got time. You just need a few posts.
You'll be fine.
Have some huggles xx
And here; brand new pair of pretty big girl pants too...
Hugs to all the people that I missed. Awesome to see this thread still going strong. Always great to find positivity on the internet.
Wahoo! Positivity rocks! xx Yeah, with so much madness in the world these little spots of peace & comfort are reassuring refuges of wonderfulness xx
For everyone who needs a hug. Hugs are free...don't be a scrooge, hug someone today! :P
Even if you surprise them
Just do it!
Don't forget us vampires. We do love hugs too!

Hugs all round. And have a groovy rest of the weekend.

Oh, I fell off the thread again! Oops! Yes, G.G! This is exactly it!! Tee hee!! Hugs!!

LOL!! Catching up... this is too much fun. Love your little smiley guys! Hugs!!

I never really understood the difference if he sees it or not. If he sees it... six more weeks of winter... I always thought that if he didn't see his shadow we only had six more weeks before spring. lol
Either way.. why would a sunny winter mean a longer one than a cloudy one? I'm sure we'll see spring soon.
G.G. Now I'm officially confused. LOL!! I'll just grab some of these pretty and colorful flowers your cute emoji is throwing around and I'll be happy!! Hugs!!
Well... I couldn't very well be the only one confused with the groundhog thing. Now I don't feel alone anymore.
Groundhog day was also Imbolc; halfay between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. So spring is on its way, never fear. GG I'm hugging whilst chucking a juicy meat steak in your mouth (just to be safe) ;-)
Still want your emojis!
OK so warming hugs to you all.
It's cold and grey here so a hug a mug kinda day :-)
To be honest I am not sure if the emoticon is me or my fridge. I think we both are making puddles on the floor, me from crying and it from probably having kicked the bucket... Well... we'll see if the hubby can do CPR on it tonight. Doesn't look too good though.
When we least need it and can barely handle it, that seems to be when things go wrong! Hope it gets better for you! Hugs coming your way!
I just wanted to drop a little advance hug and inspiration to anyone who needs it. I get these little videos every morning through Darren Hardy's mentoring program and today's was definitely for us writers.https://youtu.be/6tHcTCZT-ig
Keep soldiering on you guys! :)

As it's Miss GG Dog sends many, many hugs
:) after cleaning the grid, power air cleaning the inside and letting the fridge stand 1.5 hour unplugged, it came back to life!!! Hopefully for good...I'm still afraid to put stuff in it. :PThanks for the hugs and the good luck wishes everyone. Seems like it worked. And yes Jane...it sure seems like they are. lol
Ugh, losing your fridge is the worst! I hope it works for you!!!I am stuck at home with my 3 crazy girls in the middle of a blizzard! Bring on the baking...
Lots of hugs for everyone. It is almost Valentine's Day after all ; )
Writing is hard, but you are never alone! Keep on going, pal!
Oops. Stuck into finalising draft 1.Apologies for my neglect.
Glad your fridge has survived GG.
Well done for your continued support huggy gang xx
Big hugs for you all!
this one is especially for you Alex
Hope your spirit will soar again! I am a bit like you. For quite some time all I wanted to do was sleep, no matter the time of day it was. So my heart goes to you.
well if you are depressed, no matter the amount of sleep you get, you will never feel rested. A visit to the doctor if it doesn't improve would be advised. :(
Aww Alex, have some hugs from me too
I actually was coming on here to grab one for myself.
Exhausting weekend promoting as part of a promo group, and for very little results for me. :(
Annoyed I did a freebie not a 99c promo. I know better.
And I have a real job prospect looming, which is good and terrifying.
I really want to stay in my writer role; I like it too much.
And now I'm all anxious and my black dog is trying to bite.
Yeurgh! Deep breaths.
All is exactly as it should be.
And I can do this!
Ahh; there's my big girl pants!!
BIG HUGS to you all.
Have a great week xx






Just got one more chapter of my WIP to write tomorrow, and then draft 1 is done. Eep!! ;)
