Hi Maggie,
It is indeed great fun being a member of FW,and you said it -great opportunity for learning. Hope to read lots of your work. Trust is precious. Will handle with care. Philippa

Thanks for the congratulations everyone. I truly appreciate the encouragement. A ver big thanks to the judges and all their hard work. It must be sooo close at times -not an easy job. For those who didn't get their names up-- do not be discouraged. Pure gold is the result of much refining.Keep on go...

I seriously must be Mrs Plod. I thought of the most ordinary Fire word associations ever! RED FLICKER BURNS TERROR WARMTH Okay-- Jan your classes are invaluable- now for out of the box. 'Maximum charge reached now.' 'Stand clear then.' The doctor scanned the area for potential danger. 'Fire.' The fl...

Ach! If the words were not coming from such a wonderful mentor I'd ignore them. I love the word 'literally'. It is lavish yet empathic and ...I agree --we must find a better home for it than amongst my sentences. Cheers. Philippa

Oh that was wonderful Gregory. Thank you so much for sharing that video-makes it all so real. P

Now homework: "Aw Mar, give me a break," said Jake. "Noone does their homework on a Friday night." "You do Son, especially when you are playing football all day Saturday and Sunday." "It's probably gonna," Jake threw up his hands for emphasis, "pour rain&...

That was wonderfully clear --I have been struggling with those 'to capitalise or not to capitalise' in dialogue forever. Thank you both. Now to remember. P

Voila! Deja vu!! I clearly remmeber my mother saying "we have company - be quiet, go away and play and do not interrupt the adults'. It just made me want to get into mischief I shall go and work on dialogue. P.

What a great lesson! I made the mistake of reading the homework and by the time I'd read three or four I was spooked. Next time I'll jump in and have a go before reading back over others' works. Excellent learning opportunity. Thank you Jan.

Aw Nonnie Mouse we will love yu' despite lots of '!'. :lol: I agree with you - this class is a great learning area and heaps of fun. I wonder will dashes come under scrutiny one day. I like dashes a lot. Do you think I am talking in class right now? Perhaps I should not be rattling on. Just a though...

Oh Yippee (hover hover hover)

Do I get a gold star for confessing that as a chronic 'can't speller' I have probably -very probably- spelt it wrongly? Voila! Your classes are reaching out and making us reflect. P

It reads smoothly your way Jan. I should concede...except that? No I agree on second thought. At first reading I jumped in and judged Mary for being a bit precious. Not relevant to the lesson. It actually happened and I chased the two for several blocks, calling out 'even if you get away I've seen y...

"Hey! Put those down!" Mary took off after the two thieves who had nearly knocked her over in their hast to get away. She had no idea why she should be so indignant;she was just another customer after all! Perhaps it was that they had snickered as they grabbed the boxes and fled. What woul...

Ahh what a gift God has given you. You're so --nice to be with - anyway back to lessons; I much prefer the past tense. Hopefully active voice. I often find I'm in a muddle though. Fun all the same.
