    This bothers me for a number of reasons. People writing with A.I. and passing themselves off as 'authors' does as well. I understand you attempting to help them, but they don't want help, they want attention, an ego boost. I've watched you write and create. I watched you labour and research and toss things out. You care about what you are doing. And if I'm honest, I don't believe that you can truly stop. You have a gift and a soul and you are driven to create whether you are writing or working with fibre. I'm sure if I looked at your Word documents there are numerous stories there in various states of completion. I know that you have at least four knitting projects on the go as well. Don't let these fake writers stop you from caring and creating.

    The cost of being safe from the outside world got to be too great. The reason for their success was never questioned by the community. The way forward was agreed to and given. People and society still hold on to old ways and 'truths', it takes a brave person or persons to shine a light on them. This is a terrifically powerful story of someone who stood up and said, no more.

    The cost of being safe from the outside world got to be too great. The reason, as others have said, was never questioned, at least in the open until Mara. People and society hold on to old ways and 'truths', it takes a brave person or persons to shine a light on them. This is a terrifically powerful story of someone who stood up and said no more.

    We haven't really discussed this, but I have noticed a change. you seem more at peace and also more focused. Things we've discussed doing and put off in the past, you now just do. That's a good result. Time spent on yourself is always worthwhile.

    Both wonderful stories. I remember you writing them, stopping, researching, long discussions with your editor. It did take a long time but they are both amazing stories in their own right. I can understand your frustration. I cannot tell you what to do. If you don't think it's worth the effort and time ... For humans time is finite. Choose what to fill your time with what brings you happiness. ❤️

    This good news. I truly enjoyed your first story and tim tells me the next is just as good. No police though, but I'll get over that. Congratulations on your promotion. Well deserved.

    Indeed.

    It was a completed and iced cake... it was still edible... just. lol

    No comment about swallowing. I'm sure you make up for that in other wonderful ways. We rarely eat beef any more for a variety of reasons. Tonight we had some amazing grilled chicken, it's not beef but it was damn good.

    I like meat cooked. Medium rare is best but I'd eat it any way. tim still does that, but now there's always a note. LOL

    I know, mainly through tim, that life has been a challenge since you returned from Florida. You're a good person, who, I believe has only ever tried to help, no matter what you say to the contrary. If your mother-in-law will end up remaining in the nursing home or hospital, I sincerely hope things remain peaceful.

    As am I. he hasn't been himself for sometime, but sounds much better today. I still think he should take it easy but do get out for some walks and things. I hope everyone is well.
  13. MichaelS36
    you're handy to have around...

    Indeed. If she were my sister, there'd be a restraining order in her future. That woman shouldn't be near vulnerable people. She's incompetent. As for what I'd say...did say...I won't repeat it ... polite company and all that.

    I hope you are all right. Please accept our condolences on the passing of Phil's father. That must have been a difficult week.

    Let's change the subject now.

    Grantham is not terribly classy.

    Indeed. boy has a good imagination.
  22. MichaelS36
    The clothes are great, their lifestyle and behaviour, not so much.
  23. MichaelS36
    You two are a real pair. LOL.
  24. MichaelS36
    You wouldn't know what to do with me, dressed like that, boy!

    A beautifully written space tale. We find a man who is awoken into a mystery 400 years after the fact. He is alone except for the rather sarcastic ship's computer, SILAS, who turns out to be more than anyone bargained for, but he is integral to solving the reasons why they are where they are. There is so much here in these worlds, tim has built. Highly recommend that you don't miss this one.
