If you want to suggest a holiday for the Shortcuts! Holiday of the Day, feel free -- just a couple of things, though:

I have a question for my readers (all four of them).

My installments in both Oscar Night and Stephanie's Deal were late this week. I have no buffer left on either story and I'm not sure if I can get back on schedule next week. So if I have to drop one of them to less than weekly (like every ten days instead of every seven), which one would you rather not have to wait as long for?

There are several Fan-fictions posted at Maddybell.com that are not posted elsewhere. They are a most wonderful contribution to Maddy Bell's Gaby-verse. There are some Fan-fictions posted that are by authors here at Big Closet/Top Shelf. It would be a shame to not read these most excellent stories.
May Your Light Forever Shine

Piper has Crystal's Storysite and, I assume, the other sites associated, working on the new connection. Nice and quick. :)

One of our worthy hereditary peers of the realm has launched an attack on nurses in the National Health Service, and went on to criticise staff in dispensaries for taking too much time to dispense drugs (he compared it unfavourable to the service he gets in his grocers, saying dispensing was a simple job).

Amazon's 'Your Store' can be a bit of a pain - if it's not the scrolling through, ticking 'own that' and 'not interested' boxes, it's the liability to spend, spend, spend. Once in a while however, it turns up something that suits you down to the ground.

Hi everyone... Time for the latest update.

Mom came through with flying colors, my friend is FINALLY out of prison, sent there for a crime he didn't commit, and I got my first royalty check from Lulu from sales of my book, Headlights Girl!!!!!

All in all, life is pretty good right now, for the first time in a long time, even though I'm, still fighting a cold, and KimEm is in hospital.

Feb 28th is the second anniversary of Bob Arnold's Stardust site. There are stories that are posted there first or only, so take a look. :)

We are all made of Stardust!

Spring here, life is skittles and life is beer, I think the loveliest time of the year is spring. Don't you?

When I was sitting on top of a mythical Tibetan mountain listening to my mythical mentor - One Flung Lo, I recalled something he mythically said to me.

'Lotus Blossom, never look for accolades for if you seek, you shall never find.'

I think it is pretty obvious why these two created such a stir. If I could look like that they could kick me off every flight.

Maybe they should offer complementary Burqas?

Better look at this quick before it is gone. Yeah, totally.

I've just posted a new Julie O story called Game, Set, Match on Stardust. It will be available on FM and other sites shortly as well.

Hi all... Time for another Update....

Here are the facts as I know them at time of this posting:

• The Cardiac Catheriation (to be done late morning or early afternoon on Febuary 25, 2008) is not to see if the valve replacement is needed. It is to see if they need to do a bypass while they are in there doing the valve replacement.

I am wondering from the comments if I should try to continue the Transbike story. I must admit that it was fun to pen the story and will continue if enough people ask me too. Now if anybody wants to ride the bike, let me know. Simply either in a comment let me know.

Although I am writing a western story over on Fictioneer, I am back to this group to ask a question because it has more authors.

When you write a story, do you know about what will happen when you begin it? Like I have said, my stories seem to write themselves. I have started in a direction with my story, "Prairie's Children" that I never dreamed about when I wrote the first chapter.

We 'Cymro' - the people, have little to celebrate. We're a small nation overrun in mediaeval times by our larger and more powerful neighbour, but never quite subdued.
