Beautiful! Loved the imagery and story!!!

Thank you Dear Night ((hugs))

Your comment got buried and I just discovered it!
I wanted to acknowledge you and let you know I appreciate your words.

Coming from one of the master story tellers in these parts, your words and time are truly a compliment.

You
Wow there's so many entries!! Where does the time go? Another exciting competition already! Such great writing talent from you I so enjoy your posts. I need to get to work on another one myself. Maybe my partner will give me a hand he's as crazy as I am and with some crazy ideas for this one will be fun!

A great big s&f!!!

Thank you Cowboy!

Very sweet of you to stop and read it.

Good luck to you, your story was awesome.

a reply to: Martin75

Thanks Jess!
I read your 'bird' story but, haven't commented yet.

It was beautiful and poignant and, when my time comes, I would be okay with it ending that way

Have a fantastic weekend, I am so envious even though it will be cold and yuck! Location, location, location.


Your story is fantastic! Forgot to say that...need...coffee..stat...

a reply to: LadyButterfly

Oh my gosh, you are very kind.

I can't wait to read yours also. It's funny that you mentioned your partner helping as my daughters are my biggest critics and assist with rewrites and edits (LOL).

I heard an awful lot of "too much mom, take it out" or "that part is completely unnecessary to the story".

They enjoy lurking and reading over my shoulder and writing together is something that we enjoy doing. It's healing for us at the moment and can, sometimes, open doors to more emotional and deep conversations that can, at times, be difficult to get teenagers to express.

Again, thanks and 'crazy ideas' are great!
Big ((hugs))

Thank you Sista!



Now get to posting up some tunes...I've run out of stuff to listen to.

A very good story.
A little sad but well written.
Good literature usually isn't colorful balloons and banana cream pies.
You'll get the Pulitzer before me.

Balloons and pies are fun though (maybe not GOOD)

Ah YOU my friend, are where the talent rests. I follow along in the Shed closely at your story lines and chapters.
I missed a chapter (last week I think it was) and thought "this can't be right, I've missed something" so, I went back and there it was...the missing chapter.

You're sweet! ((hugs)) to the missus and rugrats!
Oh, and I suppose you get a ((hug)) also.

I plan to get around (finally) to reading the entries this weekend since it's going to snow and it never snows enough here to really have fun with it.

a reply to: TNMockingbird

Hiya!

Just read all the comments here...it's so nice to read kind words from others!
It's the best contest competition going, lol...we all support each other.
Noice.

Popped in to say "hi" and *bump* ya back up on the front page.

Aww thanks Sista!

It is a great contest (the bests in a long time, I think!) and the amount of stories is phenomenal.
Props to the Mason for his theme ideas and his writing ability.

Man of surprises...hehe

Anyway, I agree that it is nice to see so much support (especially for the new writers) and participation (I remember how nervous I was to put anything I had written out there!).

You're a doll, as always!
((hugs))

Lovely. Such rich imagery.
I can only hope for such peace.



S & F!!
