Toast

Well, I enjoyed that.

Very well written and compelling.

Happy Birthday ! JOEY ! ♥

There's a good story here, that needs a good edit. So please keep going.

great chapter and story !

I enjoy doing all those things too much to give them up.

We all live with death, something we have to face, come to terms with. It can isolate you or push you toward life. I wonder where it is pushing Lucas.

See, that is why I think you are good at this poetry thing.

Thanks very much for clarifying that. Makes a big difference. These members are also included in this arena then.

The anthologies are a part of GA I enjoy and participate in. I have listed authors that have posted entries to one or all four of the anthologies in 2011. I believe the Poetry Anthology comes under best poem, if I am mistaken please let me know.

Also some anthology entries are poems, I believe they come under Best Poem for award consideration ? I'm really not sure. Anyway this is my friendly reminder and recognition and acknowledgement of the authors of GA who contributed to the Anthologies. Please remember to nominate and vote.

You Welcome TalonRider ! There was excellent work done this past year. I urge everyone to participate in the Readers Choice Awards.

Just for that BeeBee, I am nominating you for the award. Seriously. And don't fret, I am also nominating Carl DaVinci and Bleu. I picked the three of you because I liked everything you three posted. You could see something wonderful in everything you three wrote. My only regret is there are others I hope get a nod also. But I can only pick three.

Thank you for your review. I started this as an attempt at a long story, Davy's life or at least the first part of it. But maybe it would be too shocking.

A lot of poetry was written in 2011. I read much of it. I could easily nominate a dozen or more pieces, but I can only nominate three. So I would like to acknowledge all the poets I read and enjoyed and thought about.

Some of these wrote one or two poems and others wrote a dozen or more, and, they all added to the variety and creative vision of our community. Thank you so much. I hope anyone thinking about their own favorite poet or poem will nominate and vote in the Reader's Choice Awards for Best Poem. Support you Local Poet

I hope you will excuse me saying... Impressive.

I liked this, sorry I didn't have one atm to give.

If it matters, and I had a "like" right now, it would be yours.

Happy Birthday Matt !

Congratulations Nephylim ! You make us all proud.

Happy Birthday Mister Lacey !

You're doing fine and we are all glad to know you.

Happy New Year, Kevin. Nice to hear of you and yours. I do really hope I get to read more blogging from you this year.

Happy Birthday! KYLE ! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I enjoyed reading your well written story. Nature encourages diversity and in this case that was mankind's salvation. I liked Sheriff Taylor.

I would call this a silver lining romance. Out of the storm comes something fortuitous. A really nice story that I completely got involved in and enjoyed. Well written. Sorry the I like well come as soon as I have some more.
