So what else have you been up to besides planning a wedding to DC today?

Well besides that, I've been listening to DC, reading some fanfiction of DC, looking at DC pics. ;D ;D

Plus I finished two books I was reading, went over to my sis's and ate dinner there and watched a movie. That's about it really.

What about you?

[grumpypirate]

Well I'm gonna have to get some sleep Cheza. I'm exhausted. Sweet dreams.

[Cheza]

Hmmm....I sense a theme here.

I've been having a bit of insomnia this week. I stayed up until 4:30 a.m. yesterday, which I was finishing stuff for the anthology. I only had about four hours of sleep or a bit less before going to the final retreat meeting...so I crashed when I got home and now I'm checking in on Hammerland...and sharing my good news

[Cheza]

Sorry I missed ya, GP - posting my news at the store. School's out - so now I can stay up late Get some rest and we'll chat later.

Hi all! I didn't know if you were still here or not.

I went to a Writers' Retreat this week and we published an anthology of our work on site. It's not for sale per se, but I can get extra copies for anyone who is interested...I'll just have to give Deanna a heads up. It ended up being almost 60 pages in length between all of us. I have four pieces in the anthology along with a photo. What is cool is that we retained all rights to the works in there, so if I want to try to sell some of the work I generated this week I can. I posted a poem or two over in the Got Poetry thread. I didn't put one, "The Red Seductress", into it though. There were about 15 of us at the retreat. It was so much fun. I can't wait to do it again next year. I'm lucky to have somit like that held in my hometown so I don't have to travel.

Congrats Cheza - sounds exciting

I just kind of have to get this out. Lately I've felt that we've broken up as a family, or shall I say we're all not as close as we use to be. But that is understandable. We're all busy with reality, school, work, family, etc. And now with recent events it's made me realize how much this place means to me. I was scared to death to post here but when I did I felt that I was welcomed with open arms. As our family grew and expanded I felt even more loved. You ladies have helped me with all my teenage problems, from parents to school to the lack of a love life to never getting the chance to go to an LH concert. You have given me so many laughs that have helped me through good times and bad. You ladies have significantly changed my life. I feel that I have grown up so much in just a short time. We have witnessed tradgety and love in our time here. I guess what I'm trying to say is that no matter what happens I will forever remember my time here, and I will forever remember the people here. To those I don't know as well to the ones I love and care about to the ones that are my mommas of the board. I love and care for all of you and no matter what you will always have a special place in my heart even if times change. I just wanted to say, thank you. Thank you to everyone. Thank you to my wonderful friends, my family. I don't think I can express how much you mean to me and I thank you for putting up with all my crazy antics *aka my alto ego ME*, my problems, but most of all I thank you for being my friends and for being my family and a major part of my life.

In closing words I'd like to say "Drink up me hearties yo ho."

GP a big hug to you This is a special place to be. So many wonderful friendships have been made.

[Cheza]

Thanks, cf!

It is a wonderful place and I want to keep the friends I have made here - regardless of the situation or how we each feel about it.
