Don't know why I wrote that it just seemed like a good idea at the time.
I like the idea of writing the 'miracle' in the middle as it satisfies all requirements.
Thanks Jan.

This really is a great learning site. Thanks to Jan and everyone else for contributing. These Magical Endings and even the Magic Middles have made me try think more professionally- as opposed to 'pie in the sky' . Still the challenge of finding the 'Magic Beginning' is pure fun. I'm off now to learn...

Good one-thanks Jan. I did get that understanding from your introduction; just wanted to clarify my thoughts. I've been busy swotting over the 'Good Beginnings' and can feel the love of creating with words rising up. Lots of material for me to go over and learn from. I think I've just ended that las...

Hi Jan, I've been away so long. Your site was one of my first revisits. Deus ex Machina-I'd love to know how to pronounce that correctly- has me betwixt and between. So much so I metaphorically rushed for a pillow to place on the fence as I seem to be spending a lot of time there- just thinking abou...

Hi Deb,
I need a Rating Worksheet too please. I have a feeling I should have printed one out a while ago but can't remember where to track it now. I need a catcher and a secretary and a housekeeper too. Regards. Philippa

Sorry it's RedBaron. I gotta get me some spelling brain cells or something. Somehow. P.

Thank you for that Red Barron--I was clueless -though grateful-as to what you had helped me with (by mt posting an e address publically) until I found this explanation. Seems I was stomping where angels fear to tread. :? I still like the 'hunt like a spider'. I check it out each time I see your post...

Hi Maggie,

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".
"Get going!"

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.
