I wouldn't waste the spunk on her. It has been my lifelong ambition to be published. However as I approach my sixtieth year and am still not on the shelves of Easons or Waterstones, or on Amazons or Goodreads, I think that ambition is unlikely ever to be fulfilled. It's like everything isn't it: you just need the break; right person to read what you've written, but that's not likely ever to happen, so I've more or less locked that dream away in a closet, along with all my other hopes and ambitions, up there in the dusty darkness. In fairness, I can't blame anyone. I never really tried. The stuff I wrote was too long for short stories and too short for novels, so there it is. What ya gonna do? Vanilla/Celladorina did offer to look at some of my stories, as she has contacts in Penguin I think, but I've yet to hear back. She's probably still laughing.

[QUOTE=Norg;2220132]dear trollheart
what is your views and opinion on the RUssia/Ukraine war [quote] Considering I have a whole thread about this it seems somewhat redundant to ask the question. However obviously I feel Russia is aggressively trying to re-establish its old empire, and I think Putin has made a grave miscalculation; he didn't expect either Ukraine to be so tough a target (AND to fight back!) nor the support they're getting from the rest of the west. I'd imagine in his whatever-he-uses-for-a-heart of hearts, he wants to pull back and sue for peace, but he's such a hard man he'll never do that. **** him. Quote:

At what point does a diary become a journal?
Are all diaries journals or are all journals diaries? And how does a memoir fit into all this? If you write enough journals, should you just do an autobiography at that point? |

Back now. Major power outage with Virgin Media since yesterday afternoon; they only got it fixed in the last few hours.
As to BP's questions, let's see: 1. A diary and a journal are often the same thing, however not so here, as a diary is generally not meant to be read by anyone but the person who writes it (can't think of what you call that type of person - person who writes - writing person? Writist? It'll come to me). Also in case you were wondering, no, a dairy is something entirely different, and so is a diorama. 2. No 3. It doesn't; there's no room 4. When you become famous; nobody cares otherwise.
