[Snypiuer]

A lot of birthdays this time of year (Giles must have carpel tunnel by now! THANKS for caring Giles!) - let's see. . . 9 months ago. . . HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

 

Seeing more people checking in. I've seen Merelas, Phoenix and Appy (Appy Appy Joy Joy!) and look forward to whatever they may post!

 

Jomeansme has given us FOUR really good pieces:

Peredhil has made available some good advice with:

 

writerisms-and-other-sins-a-writers-shortcut-to-stronger-writing http://www.patrickdurham.net/themightypen/index.php?showtopic=16980

 

and COMPLETELY creeped me out by giving me an Eliza Doolittle moment where she finds out Henry Higgins is writing down everything she says ("I ain't done nothing' wrong by speaking to the gentleman. I've a right to sell flowers if I keep off the curb. I'm a respectable girl: so help me, I never spoke to him 'cept so far as to buy a flower off me.") with 'Living the Defeated Life' http://www.patrickdurham.net/themightypen/index.php?showtopic=16975 - I will neither confirm nor deny spending several hours curled up in a ball, naked in a corner of a darkened room muttering, "I'm a good girl, I am!" over and over after reading this!

 

Aardvark smiles as the greatest gift of your life takes everything from you in 'Rejuvenation' http://www.patrickdurham.net/themightypen/index.php?showtopic=16976 Reminds me of the SNL skit with the airline stewardess, "Thank You, Buh-Bye!"

 

If you can see the Critic's Corner Forum, I recommend reading "Kind Heart's Story" by Sparhawk.

 

Quincunx unpacks some moving boxes and finds herself as she continues relating her transitional adventure in 'Appellation' http://www.patrickdurham.net/themightypen/index.php?showtopic=16971

 

While Hjolnai keeps us wondering if 'Shades of Grey' http://www.patrickdurham.net/themightypen/index.php?showtopic=16968 is a love story or a story of back stabbing and social maneuvering.

 

Freya and WrenWind made an appearance by the Hug Bin™ - HUGS FOR EVERYONE!!!

 

Pretty sure I've covered everything!

 

Finally, I like what I've been reading, a free Mighty Pen T-shirt just might be on the way to a lucky Pennite! A bit more participation from a few more members and it will be worth it. There's been more postings, but not enough to induce me into giving away a shirt - YET!

 

'Till next time!
