[writer33]

Thank you very much. You've pinged me dozens of time and I lurked but I decided to chime in on this celebrated weekend. And thank you for your service to our country! It makes this holliday all the more special to county you as a friend.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, onyx. Thanks for stopping by for some great patriotic music for this 4th of July weekend.

[writer33]

FReepmail me and tell me what you're writing! Maybe I can help.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night, Valin, and sleep well. ((HUGS)) Thanks for bringing each day's history to the Canteen. And thanks for your service to America.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Fawnn....Questions? Answers? Sleep?

Little River Band was really popular in the 70's. Lady was one of their biggest hits.

[Old Sarge]

I have been writing short stories, poetry, and one episode of "Star Trek: Voyager", which was considered, but never aired.

I started in 1995, to write a novel - a work of sci-fi/fantasy. I've had good advice from an ameteur editor, who has made the manu bleed red ink from all the corrections, but it's looking better. I've become a better writer for it.

I've been working with it, on and off, as a pasttime. I really have no real hope of publishing it: three submissions all said variations of the same thing: "the market is saturated".

So, I write for me, and no one else - except for the poetry. That, I share here on FR, and a few other places, and the comments have been very favorable.

I know I'm an excellent writer; my writing style has been called Tolkien-esque, which I hold as a high compliment.

[Fawnn]

Some. Some. Some. (Not enough of any of 'em so far. But as for the first two, the night's still young.) ;)

I need to find food, but anything that sounds good sounds like too much work. So I think I'm just gonna go nuke something.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

You got lots of Liitle River Band, Ma?
I am sorry I missed this post earlier...
Mr.B posted "Happy Annivesary" by them earlier..
(Not the music, just the wishes)
the "tune" won't come to me....
Ms.B

[Brad’s Gramma]

So.....I'm freeping, listening to this wonderful music and it hit me that I am SO PROUD to be a conservative American.

Can any of you imagine how icky this holiday must be for the libs? They HATE this country. They hate everything it stands/stood for. They'll even hate the music.

So.....!!!!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

You're right, Grammie!
(lol, come to think of it, so am I..snicker)
Have a great weekend!
Ms.B

[Old Sarge]

Oh, that was a GOOD one when it first came out!

But I'm dating myself - which is a good tihng, since no one dates me now...

Hey, Kath, you got "Lil' Miss Can't Be Wrong"?

[writer33]

"I've been working with it, on and off, as a pasttime. I really have no real hope of publishing it: three submissions all said variations of the same thing: "the market is saturated".


Science Fiction is extremely hard to break into. I like it but am passionate about soldiers and politics. So, I put a book together than included both of those. Horror is probably the hardest thing to break into print with a big name publisher. That's probably why it took Stephen King ten years.

I am still in search for that big name publisher but as these books sell, then that comes closer and closer. Anyway, I'm going to hit the bed. Gotta get up early in the morning. I really appreciate your wonderful comments. Keep up your writing and service to your country. It makes your writing all the more worth it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi tx.....getting the whole group together. ((HUGS))

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Hey there!
I'm trying to recall the title of one of their songs...
Reminiscing? (Sorry if mis-spelled)
(Dancing in The Dark?)
Anywhoo, a beautiful song...
Can you help?
LOL
Ms.B

[Old Sarge]

Thank you, 33! I'll take that to heart.

You go get some rest; you can always find me here!
