i would like to invite you to join The Blurb, a brand new free forum for everything to do with books, and creative writing. It has a book club, a creative writing club, a section to exchange books, a section to post poetry and short stories...something for everyone.

If you would like to join you can find the forum here

VS - no, I found it too tough to sit out here on this hard chair and read and the printer ran out of ink.

Am waiting for either... the laptop to be made wireless again or dp to load the printer up with ink...

If you need me to read it quickly, I can read it out here, but if tis just for my enjoyment, I'd rather wait till I can sit on my comfy settee.... let me know if you want me to read it NOW!

I couldn't load my own pic as an avatar over there > > > even though it gave me the option to... apparently mine is the wrong format or something (twas a bit techy for me ) so I went with a woman who looks spookily similar to what I see in the mirror

(actually, that last bit was a lie )

nO, NO READ IT AT YOUR LEISURE, i THOUGHT AS YOU HADN'T MENTIONED IT YOU HAD READ IT AND HATED IT AND DIDN'T WANT TO SAY
Oh bollocks. caps.

there was a wee issue with the avatars merging into the posts but thats all fixed now (i gave my tech team a stern warning that went along the lines of...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX IT!!!!!)

Book for july has been chosen and the magazine of the week too...

Distinct lack of creative writers however, there must be some scribes tucked away on mumsnet just dying to fill the blurb with their stories and poems!

At this rate i may have to add more of mine :D

Justageek,

Thanks. I thought the moving photo thing was just my system for a while. I had to read the posts 'super-quick' before they got covered. And, I will try and find some time to get creative!! Amey

justageek · 29/06/2008 21:30

no problem Amey, I am rather amused at the thought of us all speed reading, whilst thinking it was just on our own pc's!

Justageek,

Just logged off the Blurb after a manic posting session making up for lost time!! Speed posting is more fun than speed reading

Amey,

I noticed you had got stuck in, great to see! Manic posting is DEFINATELY preferable to manic reading, I did a bit of it myself!
