BUT, I almost didn't read this because I was sooo afraid Ann was going to tell us not to use them very much! I LOVE the Ellipsis! I love them, too... and use them ALL the time... and apparently incorrectly. Sigh. I'll have to take a look at the link posted. Hey! I really like yours! They are pretty...

Ann, I learned somthing from this lesson! I didn't know you could put spaces in ellipses. Do you have to? Or is either way acceptable? I've dinged people for putting spaces before and after ... like this. Is that wrong, or right, or does it not particularly matter? Jan, I have found that ellipses a...

Thanks! :D

I thought maybe someone might think it too creepy. :shock:

But as I was listing what came to mind, a story formed so I went with it!

Now it's hard to get the scene out of my mind.

Sad.

Pat, I've already given the gold star to Kristen, so putting an adorable kitty in your story gets you nothing, do you hear me? Nothing! (But it was a great story). Drats, I must work on my sucking-up-to-teacher skills. :mrgreen: Kind of got attached to Chauncey. Of course, she probably is the one w...

Exhausted, weary, and worn out, Jan walked tiredly into her house at the end of a long, seemingly endless day at work. She slipped off her dark ebony shoes at the door and plodded unenthusiastically toward the kitchen. All she wanted was an icy cold soda and something sugary saccharine—maybe there ...

I too, have wondered Gerald -- you have been missed and my heart goes out to you. And you know, God is not only there when you turn to Him -- He's there even when you don't. His arms are around you even as you struggle against Him. Nothing you do or say will make Him turn away. We are the ones haunt...

Does looking out my window,
Make life a little lighter?
As winds of change flow,
As wings climb higher?

I think the meter is a little tricky on this one because of my word choices of 'wings,' 'climb' and 'change.' (It takes a slight pause to pronoun climb after wings) (?)

But it kinda works!

Pooey! And I was counting! I think I was thinking of using the word "ride" instead of riding. :wink: It was just a typo. :mrgreen: It works, doesn't it? And no period after the first line will look good. Opalescent foam, cradles broken bits of shell. Seagulls ride the wind. :mrgreen:
