That funny I have seen them growing in Alaska and that is how they grow there close to the ground

Seems arctic blueberries do also grow in Alaska... And apparently they are also called bilberries.

Randy can you name all the classic sauces?

Sometimes being politically correct  just doesn't have the right effect.

Precisely. And the profanity filter doesn't pick up the odd stray f-word, anyway...

I love picking strawberries at a local farm in June. Make a compote, strain the seeds off, then put the compote together with pie crust for homemade pop tarts.

just glad the conjugation isn't that hard as it is in Latin based languages.

You think those are bad? Try Finnish.

Readers abandoned Nemesis in droves... First there was a thing in the first book that pissed them off, then it was the end of the second book... Some kept reading anyway and commented again at the end of book 3.  Then there were the people who complained about the swearing in The Jacob & Marcus Tales... Where I specifically stated that the whole thing began as an exercise in creative swearing. The most perplexing was a reader who was upset that a sixteen-year-old boy had his first kiss with someone other than his crush whom he didn't even know he had a chance with.  I'm all about alienating my readers. It's like a sport. 

 

Are you sure we aren't related?  I tend to alienate mine as well.  Sometimes on purpose and sometimes not.  heh... just sometimes.

Dutch still isn't as bad as the Finno-Uralic languages, I can tell you that, lol! 

I don't think it's possible to write a good story without somebody hating it. If you think about it, it's kind of a good thing. If they hate it, that means they have feelings about it. Much better than indifference. At least, that's what I tell myself.

Hola!  All the regulars are MIA today.  Aside from Thorn.  Bertie and Clo are usually hanging around during this time of day.  🤷🏼‍♂️

 

I was out for 2 hours at IKEA, then went to the park then tried to do some writing, but I laid down with my sister in law's kids and fell asleep. Oh well, it isn't 8 yet, so I might write a bit tonight. Dennis told me to write tonight and no one will bother me.  I missed 7  pages today...

Xander, if you're getting that support, and you have a goal, I say stick to it.  I had a goal once, and I didn't stick to it, and now I haven't written anything in years.  Don't be like me.

Bluefish is a way of saying the F word politely.   It is an @Bucket1 invention. 

I am happy to take the credit but the invaluable contribution of autocorrect should be noted

Preach it!  I not only need goals but reliable feedback.  I'm having issues with both lately.

Why not write something...I bet it would be read...
