Thank you for thanking me. That's how I found you. Because of your thoughtful generosity we are now friends. Work to work buddies. When times get tough, you get going. You're (like me) to stubborn to give up. You keep practicing, lady Schatzling. We'll meet again at the cross road. - | ||

schatzling: Hi everyone. I have NOT been contributing for awhile not because I don't want to but unfortunately because a variety of things have been contributing to my ,"non-writing" phase....extensive recovery after surgery, illness and my computer crashing just a few days ago. I promise to be back again writing in early 2017. I am looking forward to reading what you have written. I miss you guys!!! Have a blessed Christmas and may YOUR new year be filled with much love, health and happiness. |

schatzling: Please, everyone....if you have read my initial "Aquarius" submission, go back and read it again. I have figured out how to make it a much easier Read than before. Now it will be much easier to understand. The poem consists of two room mates that are having a conversation about meeting their new neighbor Miss Aquarius. One room mate is RED in color; the other PURPLE. Enjoy and I thank you in advance for any words you would like to share with me about this poem. |

schatzling: Hello everyone. I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Schatzling aka Katharina. I got into Fanstory because someone used one of my photos and actually thanked me. I wanted to thank this person for thanking me. Since it was still in contest mode and blind, I had no way of knowing who to actually thank. So I just wrote a note to the entry itself instead of the person. While I was on the sight, I thought, I might as well check it out. I then read a short story and decided to Review it. I thought to myself, "If read something, especially if lengthy, I might as well Review it," and that is exactly what I will always do. After I finished reading my first story on FanStory, I decided to look at all the different contests that were available. I was fascinated by just how many different poem types there are. It is mind baffling. Do not know if I will ever be able to to become familiar with all of them and actually be able to explain exactly what that means. Every photo accompanying my writings will be mine. I stumbled across FanArt In February of this year and I have not been the same. Photography is my passion and anything artsy craftsy I will try to create at least once. I also have dreams to publish children's books. I have so many ideas already written down. I have drawings that accompany some. I have photos that accompany some. I joined FanStory side of the house on 23 August.....just last month. Initially I was just going to read and Review....but then only a few days ago, I decided to take the plunge. It took me over two hours to get enough courage to read my first Review. Two hours....and then I read beautiful words telling me what a good job I have done. I was speechless and tears of joy trickled down my face. This sight, with all of you wonderful writers, will be a wonderful place for me to hang out. I know I will learn a lot...which will benefit me in every aspect of my writing; therefore, I will become a better writer....an inspiration of mine....I ALREADY HAVE in just under three days. AMAZING. Just as a side note: English is my second language. German is my first. I came to America when I was 22. I had to live here for five consecutive years, go to school for six months, take a 100 question exam (I missed only one question. It was about the Houses of Representatives), memorize the Pledge of Allegiance , write an American sentence and sign my name on the dotted line. I am a very proud, patriotic, steadfast and loyal American. My name is Katharina. I do not go by Kathy. Never have. Never will. Nor do I go by Kate, Kathryn, Kaye...no nicknames at all. Everyone prefers to either shorten their name or be called something completely different. I for one like my name. I am Katharina and that is what I prefer to be called. Except of course while on FanArt and FanStory, I will be known as Schatzling. It is a pleasure to meet you....or should I say, it will be a pleasure to meet you....all of you. I am looking forward to it. I hope we can become lifelong friends through our poems and story writings. This is an entire new world for me. I know very little. As a matter of fact, I hardly know anything both in the photography world and in the story world. So please do be patient with me. I am eager to learn. Thanks for stopping by and reading my initial thoughts I wanted to share with you....hopefully I did not bore you to death.... Have a wonderful day. Will be getting to know you much better I am sure of it. Take care and see you soon. I am sure I will somewhere between here and the contests, Reviews and Reply (smile). |
