KIRK - re:problems with the valentine's blender...why not a tribute to first loves? we all get valentine's day. we all fall in love. but what about that first time - the first kiss, the first look - the first smell...that only happens once. only a very memorable once. just an idea. perhaps it will spawn something remarkable from you :-)

sarah thankyou -- I posted another story/ramble this morning, it was inpsired by a painting I finished last night called 'Just another heart'. I've found writing daily in this online journal really helps me focus on my art, and what I write.<BR>
<BR>
Some days I just write how I feel, things I see, memories, other days I really try to get deep into myself. Whats really interesting is that you can either make the journal entries public or private, and I've found that I've almost nothing I want to hide, I've very little on private. <BR>

dee thats really cool, where do you do this????  That would be something I would like to do, I've been greatly lacking in anything worth writing, so i think maybe just keeping a journal or something like that would be interesting.<BR>
<BR>
I liked this story today too dee, i love stories, especially real ones.  There is just something to them, that grips me more than fantasy or whatnot.  <BR>
<BR>
So keep em' coming baby!

Ali~  A very big thank you!  I usually write late at night after the children have finally gone to sleep, sometimes I wonder if being half dead on my feet hurts my writing. You know, wondering if what I think I am writing is actually what I am writing.  Thanks again.

Hey guys I just wrote a poem and it's my first try at any poem.  So i was just wanting some people to read it and see what you all thought.  Let me know if I suck and should never write another again, or if it's okay for the first one ever.

I thought your poem was really good, it shouldn't matter to you what we think.  Never quit writing just because someone tells you to.  Writing is from your soul, it is who you are. I thought your peom was really true.  I understand exactly what you were saying<BR>
