  1. Your verse about mosquitoes got to me the most. ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ˜„ Their whining and crooning has actually been quite absent this summer as it's been so dry. Something to celebrate amidst the drought.
  2. My original (only vaguely relevant) story has been put to one side and will be replaced ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž by a much shorter effort. We shall see...

    My editor was another one who assumed the backdrop was WW2. I deliberately tried to avoid anything that would place it in any one particular time period. Thanks for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    Yes, it is, but it can be so, so difficult. The story's complete as it is. Sorry...

    Thanks, Gary. Something rather different from me as befits the situation. ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ˜„ I expanded on a prompt response from ages ago. It was one of those that hadn't felt finished.
  13. This is me - absolutely. I started something several months ago and then got side-tracked. Will I come back to it in time? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Who knows...
  14. Normally, the prospect of reading a Western will make me run in the opposite direction. I'd sooner stare at a wall.๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ˜„. However, Gary is the only author I know who would be able to persuade me to give it a go. He's soaked up the Western genre, history, and applies it to his usual wonderful dialogue and diverse situations.
  15. Congratulations! Welcome to Signature.
  16. Never done this contest before... Will this be the year? ๐Ÿ‘€ But there again, I've an antho entry to be written as well. Hmm....
  17. I can just imagine singing the Psalm - to what tune, I'm not sure. Whereas, To Eros, aches to be declaimed. On the stage maybe, or some corner of the Parthenon. How you managed, every day, to summon up inspiration and put it into practice, is in its turn inspirational.
  18. I love your maths verse. I may not have any idea what you're going on about but the sounds and mouth feel of the words always delight and amuse.
  19. April 16 and 17 both made me smile. In fact, 17 elicited a grin. A wonderful example of you playing with words and sounds, and managing, somehow, to make sense. Kinda... ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ˜„

    Yes, indeed, if they can get past both the initial encounter and any baggage that might result from their joint pasts. They've both changed a lot since then.

    Arthritis is one of those ailments that doesn't get much publicity or general sympathy, yet it can have a really restricting effect on someone's life. I hope you experience some improvement.

    Excellent! Any writer worth their salt should hope to excite a range of emotions in their readers. Thank you for putting yours into words.๐Ÿ˜Š

    Rainbow Colours

    What a great way of putting it. If, when he was younger, he'd been able to connect with Rob, his life might have been very different. Now that his life has changed, he's perhaps ready for Rob to be a part of it.
