Goodness, that was a long slog - finally getting 500 reviews on the board. Hope the next 500 doesn't take 12 years like the first set did!!!

I actually love reviewing but I have to be so in the zone (or under pressure from judging a contest that reviews its entries, ha ha ha).

And you are a great reviewer!
Hello good people.... Can someone remind me of the contests that accept previously written (even awarded) items? My brain has failed me!

Well, it ends tomorrow for the round that allows old items but I have "The Weekly Quickie Contest" Open in new Window. [18+] with an old item round going.
See, Osirantinous Author Icon - more. *ThumbsUpGreen*
Thanks for the entry! *Bigsmile*
Question time!!

If you could recommend only ONE book to others to read, what would it be?

(I was thinking to myself this was easy and then I went.... oh no, it's not. I mean, X book of that genre, Y book of this genre. But.... what if you only had ONE option?????)

Kit Author Icon - I admit I've never actually read this. Guess I'm afraid it might 'ruin' my version of it via the BBC's mini-series.....
🦃 intuey Grateful & Blessed Author Icon - two more books I've not read but obviously now need to!
Choco's Feeling Poorly Author Icon - have never read any Marian Keyes but my mum has and likes them. Not read your other either but even the title makes it sound like it's a good one!!


Happy 12th WDC Anniversary!

I like this so much but also am going into panic mode because it was a rough month health wise so I'm struggling to finish stories. I'm still going to try my best to get it done in time. *FingersCrossed*
I have a completed story; it's in the polishing phase now. *Delight*
If you're intending to enter contests this month, don't forget that February is a short month!

Working on my story! I'm loving it, but it'll probably bore everyone else to tears. *Laugh*
Amused myself tonight by looking over the view counts for my writing; the top counts are all from between 2013-2016, so I guess time helps.

Despite the topic of the top-viewed item maybe having something to do with it, I am still surprised it's top because... it's poetry and I am no poet! (The third highest item viewed is also poetry - in fact a sort of 'prequel' to the one below!)

Amazon Open in new Window. (E)
For my mum.

Thrilled that my favourite short story is the most viewed piece of fiction. *HeartRainbow*

STATIC
Fire-red Leaf Open in new Window. (18+)
An unusual romance in an unusual space, surrounded by autumn leaves and an ancient oak.

Anyone else ever looked at counts? Some of the things I wrote around the time of those above are nowhere near 3 digits, not even if they've been contest entries.

Only recently because of Charles's Cornucopia 🦃 Author Icon. *Laugh* He made me become aware of things I hadn't before.
That is a beautiful poem. *Hug1**Smile**Hug2*
