Thanks Everyone


Many thanks to all who read my story and many thanks to Judy and Cyndula for the very constructive comments on commas and sentence structure. The reading aloud is a very good idea. It will give me more of a feel for how it will "read out" to the reader.

Thank you Shirley and Bonnie for you kind words. Bonnie I know exactly what you mean about the smell of a horse being good for what ails you. I have three horses, two arabians and a quarterhorse. I spend alot of time with my nose buried in their sleek coats.


Hello.


March exercise


KEY WEST AND GRAVITY

Key West sings her own song, her music drifting and floating in the lure of sunsets that can break your heart. The lyrical dance of island life calls my name and I am awed by the fragile balance of chance, destiny and fate that has brought me here.


Any Grammar Experts Here?


Hi All,

I have a quick grammar question.

If you have a noun that ends in -s (such as Jones), how would you make this plural? Is it Jones' or Jones's?

Also, if you have an achronym that ends in -s, how would you pluralize it? For example, the achronym is KBS, which stands for Knowledge Base System. To make this plural, would you type KBSs, KBS's or KBS'?

Thanks.


Examining my writing self


Story got kinda lost near the bottom...would like others to take a look...


Hi,,I posted my story and then it got sort of lost beneath a deluge of messages. Just my luck....it's number 5 and I would appreciate any other feedback. I need to know if this is considered an essay or a short story? Something appropriate for a magazine? Help!

Hi My name is Faith and I am new here. I posted my first piece back on March 1 within hours of when the board archived. I will try to post it again because I would really appreciate whatever feedback anyone can give me. I have read many of your stories and enjoyed them very much.

Warning: Knife-Wielding Writer

For the fifth time in as many days, the phrase “Carve out time to write” is in front of my eyes. Five times written by other writers, that is. I use the phrase often myself and probably contributed at least another three occurrences in the past five days.

We had a change in command and that delayed things a bit for the posting. Although I didn't have anything to do with the delay, I apologize :-)

Here is the article for this month, which should be posted momentarily:
