Thanks for following my blog, and reading a couple of posts. All my life I have found writing to be difficult and discouraging. Blogging is a format I can handle, and I appreciate an author and English teacher looking at my stuff. Thanks. I’ll read “Glass Eyes.”

Thanks for coming by! Getting your writing out there can certainly be a discouraging process, and I haven’t been at it as long as some. We’ll see how it goes!

Hello, Emily. it’s lovely to meet you. I really like your writing style and will look forward to reading more in future. I’m sure our paths will cross on one flash fiction challenge or other. Like you, i grew up by the sea, although I’ve lived inland for some years now. But I’m still drawn by the smell of the sea and often long to go back to my hometown. Keep on writing – you’re very good at it.

Well, you certainly can’t do any worse! I’m really not a Romance writer and I struggled to find suitable phrases. I thought everyone would think they were really twee. I’d be better writing ‘An older woman’s view of love.’ Then I could waffle on about contentment and trust , blah de blah. Boring stuff, you know. 🙂

Hey,
Hope you doing well. I used to follow your blog back in 2015 due to life’s hustle and bustle I just got busy and lost the track. I remember you used to write a lot about your dog. Hope he is doing ok.

Thanks for the kind comment! Things have gotten crazy for me, and I’ve fallen off of blogging. I now have 2 young kids and my husband was diagnosed with a chronic illness. Unfortunately, we lost our dog last November and miss him everyday. Thanks again!
