  4. Another great chapter. As I've already told you, I really love the changes you've made from the original, and can't wait for the next chappy. I know how much effort you have put into this chappy and really shows. Keep up the great writing.

    Poetry is just not my thing. I never really get it, but it is a requirement for my course (a small requirement thankfully). I take your points which are valid, but I just really can't see myself rewriting this one.

  7. I remember when the 2012 logo was first released. It was slated in every single newspaper. The Sun even had a spread where you cut out the shapes and it showed you how to make little models of them - my fav was the stegosaurus.

In the beginning there was the union of Nut and Ra Nut's heart belonged to another, she was asked, “Pour quois?” She loved Geb, god of the Earth Ra, in this, found absolutely no mirth He forbade the union to have any children, much to her craze On any of the year’s three hundred and sixty days Nut summoned Thoth, who sadly in recognition Knew that Ra's curse must come to fruition Thoth challenged Khonsu, whose light rivalled the sun In his victory, one-seventh of his light T
  10. In the beginning, there was the king of Egypt, Ra, and his consort, Nut; Nut however, was in love with the god Geb. When Ra discovered this secret union, he was furious. In his rage, he cursed Nut to never bear Geb any children on any of the three hundred and sixty days and nights that made up the year. Nut was saddened by Ra’s vengeful curse and so she enlisted the services of her friend, Thoth, the god of wisdom and knowledge, to help her in her quest to have children. Sadly, Thoth knew th

    Prologue

    In my recent creative writing workshop, we were set the task of telling the exact same story using three different writing techniques. Firstly as a way to get us used to writing using different styles, but secondly to see how different a story reads and sounds when written using different formats. I chose perhaps the most well known and most elaborate Ancient Egyptian myth, “The Osiris Myth”. I enjoy religious mythologies, and have studied Egyptology and Classical Studies for a number of y
  12. The Ancient Egyptian Myth of Osiris told three different ways: in prose, in poetry and in a play.

  14. Happy birthday Joe. Have a great day. **would like to second Mark Arbour's suggestion**
  15. That was actually a lot of fun to write and I'm glad you liked it. My only real regret with it was not being able to work in more of the characters.

    Prompt #151

    Thanks for reading and reviewing. GID is becoming more and more of an issue at work at the moment (we now have three kids on active treatment who have GID, and two with GID who have just finished chemo). I'd liked to have explored Dad's emotions a bit more, but for me this was very much Taylor's story.
  20. I am just so thankful for where I work. I am open about me and my BF, and another colleague of mine always brings her GF to office functions; hell one of our consultants always talks openly about what her and her GF have been up to, and regularly moans about the fact it is her GF who constantly makes their daughter late for nursery. We recently had a family member kick off about a gay male nurse who was taking care of his nephew - purely because the male nurse was gay. The family were told in told in no uncertain terms to either accept it or find a new hospital to have the child treated in. It's so sad there are still people who feel they have to remain closeted just to be able to lead a normal life. Big :hug: s from me to all of you.
  21. I have had a busy week. Two reviews in a week for the blog, re-read Kombat Kids twice (and thanks to all those who read as well) and my Comsie Day yesterday. Bought Gone From Daylight on my Kindle and snuggled down with a couple of large glasses of Merlot for a day of Justin and Taryn. Was busy at work as well, but work is boring. Much preferred my GA party week.
  22. Both my BF and I am far too B. We almost got kicked out the halls in university; people could hear us at the far end of the landing. It was even worse when I was living with my mum because our walls were paper thin, and me and my BF at the time were both very like A. My mum once even asked us just how big my boyfriend was . Now if that doesn't want to make you quieten down, then nothing will.
  23. From my younger days it was a close call between: Rider Strong who played Shawn on Boy Meets World (I'd have sold my mother to be able to run my fingers through that hair) and Noah Hathaway who played the Indian boy Atreyu in The Neverending Story (helped he was bare-chested in the film) I had huge posters of both on my bedroom wall and still friends found it a shock when I told them I was gay.
