I've decided to take part in Camp NaNo this year in an attempt to push up my writing *Smile* I've done Nano a few times but never this one in April. Has anyone else done it? Anyone want to buddy up? I'm alicejblack on the site!

Yeah, cruising along. We escaped most of the Covid19 drama by virtue of living on the edge of the world. *Laugh* Kicked Jayden out of home last year, and it's made a world of difference to him and to us, so that's turned out really well. Just Caitie at home now.
I'm glad that you've missed the worst of it. Being in the UK means we're in the thick of it and still in lockdown number 3. Vaccines are rolling out so hopefully some semblance of normlacy will resume soon. We have only just been allowed to meet with other people outdoors/in gardens in groups of six. It's crazy how much of the world this has affected! How is it just having Caitie at home? Do you still see Jayden regularly?
Elle  Author Icon
Yeah, my sister lives in Essex, so I've been getting regular updates on the situation there. She's stuck at home with two kids (6yo and 5yo) so I don't envy her at all.

For the most part, it's lovely just having one child at home. No bickering! *Laugh* She is very hormonal at the moment though, which is hard to live with at times. I know this too shall pass, but ugh. *Rolleyes*

I see Jayden about once a fortnight. He comes and has lunch with me (to scam a free meal off me) and about once a month he comes home for dinner.
Hi *Smile* it's been such a long time since I logged in here and you know what, I'm glad I made it back here. Writing.com started my roots in really writing and sharing my work. I was younger (much) when I first created my account but I've never forgotten the site even though life got busy and I haven't had the time to jump in. I'd like to think that'll change but I have a feeling I have a lot of things to get my head around! I'm sorry if I've dropped the ball with anything and I know I've missed countless birthdays and anniversaries, but hopefully I can make up for that. I won't be able to be as active as I used to be by any account but I hope I can stop by regularly, even if it's just to read some of the wonderful work here *Books1*

Welcome back!
Blue Jellybaby, I know the feeling! The world consumes our time, energy, and much more even when writing is sometimes all we want to do. The beauty of WDC is that what we write stays in one place and is always there for us when we are ready to write again.

Currently, I dip in and out of WDC but look forward to the day when writing is my primary goal and objective.

Thanks for sharing because sometimes I also feel guilty for not being more participatory in WDC activities.

Write on! WRITE ON!

Look what arrived for me in the post today! Wow what a treat *Bigsmile* I want to say a HUGE HUGE thank you to the wonderful, anonymous person who was beyond thoughtful to send these to me. Cannot wait to get my first Writing.com cup of coffee!!

You get used to that if you serve coffee all day. I can walk fast with a very full cup, set it down, and slide it down the counter with enough spin so that the handle swings toward the customer... all in one slick motion and without spilling a drop. My employees kept asking me how to do it, but the best I could say was just to watch. It happens naturally after a while. *Laugh*

So poetic, Miss ~WhoMe???~ Author Icon. *Wink*

all this talk about coffee, I had to go brew a pot...I know it is 8pm here, but what they heck I am on vacation...well from one job anyway...so party on!!!! Lets all have a cup together *Mugb**Mugr**Mugg*
I have one of these mugs. You have 4?! I want 4!*Rant*
Anyway, it's excellent. My WDC mug is always first choice if it's clean....okay, okay... and sometimes when it's not clean. *BigSmile*

Waking up to 94 new emails overnight... astounded! Thank you so much for all the anniversary wishes, cnotes, merit badges and gift points guys. You have no idea how special this made me feel.

I will reply to everyone individually when I get a chance *Heart* This makes me remember how much my heart is with this site. I'm never leaving home.
Happy anniversary sweetie !
LOL you are going to have soooooo many Emails to get through by 5AM tomorrow our time *Laugh* *Kiss*
Sorry, have been out of commission for a week. Happy Anniversary.
What book are you reading at the minute? How are you finding it?

I'm reading Horns by Joe Hill (just started yesterday) and I'm already around 120 pages in. It's an easy going read but it has me hooked at the same time. Unfortunately I saw the movie before reading the book so I know what's going to happen (unless it's been changed dramatically) but still enjoying it.
I am reading "Echo Boy" by Matt Haig - I like the story line and the themes in the book, as it's future fiction which is my favourite genre, but it's really a YA book, so I suppose the style of writing does not have me as "hooked" as I could be......
         I'm reading Born With Teeth by Kate Mulgrew. It's a good book. There's thirty chapters and I am on chapter four. I would recommend it to anyone who likes memoirs or biographies.
I just finished "What Alice Forgot" last night.
It seems the community is demanding that this come back early so I guess I'll have to open up shop *Wink*

Come check out:

Flying to New York tomorrow for 5 nights of fun and frolics! I will not likely be logging onto WdC while I'm away (I'm sure I'll be too tired) but if anyone wants to connect (or even vet the possibility of meeting up!) please contact me on facebook... Alice J Black *Smile*
I hope you have a great time! (I miss NYC...)

Oh, and I sent you FB friend requests - two of them for both my pen names. (Lexa Cain, LX Cain). Nooo, that's not stalkery at all. *Rolleyes*
Haha! I added both of you *Wink* Had absolutely no signal while out there other than Starbucks wifi time. There's only so much coffee a girl can drink!
This morning I was just sitting here doing some editing on one of my nano novels when there comes a knock at my door. Running down the stairs I open it to find a parcel delivery man holding something that looks suspiciously like a pizza. Yum! Anyway, I sign for it and bring my present inside where frantically rip open the packing to find... my very own Writing.Com tote bag! No way! *Bigsmile*

It was gifted to me by Gaby Author IconMail Icon and Fi Author IconMail Icon for reaching 200 reviews with "P.E.N.C.I.L."  I am just so stunned! Thank you so much guys, you have no idea how much this means to me *Heart* *Pencil*
How awesome! I've been eyeing one of those.*Bigsmile*
This put a smile on my face. That must have been a very cool moment for you when you first opened that up. Congrats to you! Enjoy your gifts.

p.s. Cute cat. :)

Glad you like it! *Bigsmile*
Finally kinda got my email in some sort of order with only a few left to deal with! Woohoo *Smile* Enjoying being back on WdC and spending time reviewing. I might not be around as much as I'd like but I'll never forget the place that is my second home *Heart*
of course you won't *Smile*
We miss seeing you as much, but we understand!
I apologise that I haven't been on in a while. Things are pretty hectic at home and I'm trying to write a lot (and as much as I love WdC it can be distracting sometimes) but I'll be back soon!
We are here!
I know all about hectic my friend!
Take all the time you need. We all know that life can be hectic. We will still be here when you are ready to write.
Hey guys, not sure if I'll be on later so I just wanted to send along my new year wishes for everyone. Hope you have a brilliant year with lots of good times *Bigsmile*
Happy New year to you!
