Siouxsun: I'm unable to get into my profile. I know my credit card gets charged monthly so I'm up to date with payments. This has happened before. Does anyone else seem to have this problem? is this a tech issue?

    trimple: Cry and you cry alone! -
    Siouxsun: Oh my word you people are too funny!We should make a combined poem together -
    nannabot: Bit of a latecomer;
    "Fart and own it with pride, and your dog will love you for it." -
    Siouxsun: My family blames them on the poor dog!

Siouxsun: It has been a rough couple of months
    Selina Stambi: So sorry to hear that. Hope things are looking better now. -


Siouxsun: Please forgive me. This book I have started here has been progressing rather slowly. I have so many different things I want to write and of varying genres. I wish I could focus on just one at a time but I find myself thinking so intently about another that I am compelled to write what is on my mind and in my heart at the time. I don't want to lose any of it.
    DIS-illusioned: Brain-storm them all out in sketches (main ideas) then organize/flesh them out later.
    Good luck and happy writing. :) -
    Schalk Jacobs: Was wondering what happened. Have the same problem. -


Siouxsun: Okay time to write again, please excuse me, I'll be back


Siouxsun: Its days like these that makes life so rewarding. =D
    Siouxsun: I know I was being lazy lol -


Siouxsun: I finally got an android so I can read my faves from fan story in bed Now!


Siouxsun: If you are doing what you love can it really be called work?
    Jane Johnson: If you do what you love, you never work a day!

Siouxsun: 1 foot and expecting MORE! It's Beyond nuisance now as my Crocuses are blooming somewhere underneath.....pout


Siouxsun: Snow is getting old
    adewpearl: Yeah, as I'm watching the flakes fall outside my window, I totally agree :-) -
    Joy Graham: It's snowing here too, heavy sigh... -
    RominaItalia: SNOW According to Romina's Dictionary of New England Language: Slippery Nuisance Of Winter. :) -


Siouxsun: It's 38 degrees and it feels like spring. I think it has been a long winter!


Siouxsun: I'm Having an affair with my bed and I'm sleeping with it tonight!
    Matthew M.: Your bed is getting more action than I get. -


Siouxsun: And an all time BEST! Happy dance, happy dance


Siouxsun: I'm so excited I received my first recognition!


Siouxsun: I have done a perfectly good job of locking my self out of my office.I really want to be working on the second part of chapter 2 of my book. See what happens when I try to funtion without first having my tea! Well having hubby come home at lunch time to rescue me may make for a pleasant turn of events!
    K.W.: :) sometimes things happen for a reason -
    Siouxsun: Yup especially seeing as though it was our anniversary Tuesday and he hasn't been home for lunch ever! Hmm maybe my subconscious was plotting. -


Siouxsun: How much wind would you like with YOUR sunshine
    K.W.: very little...too much wind creeps me out :) -
    nor84: I don't mind the wind so much, it's the tree and weed pollen it brings with it. -
    DIS-illusioned: A bowl of hurricane, with a dash of twister, thank you. :) -


Siouxsun: YUM So nice to see all that sunshine today, I'm eating it up!


Siouxsun: we survived the blizzard and winds. Lost power last night for 2 hours for no apparent reason. Go figure!
    Anisa-: Wow. I've been hearing a lot about storms going on... -


Siouxsun: Hunkering down for the coming storm
    adewpearl: Yep, I'm hunkered too with an apartment stocked up with supplies. -
    Donya Quijote: Got an unwanted blizzard comin' your way, send to West Virginia. The past couple of winters here have been pathetic. Where's the snow? -
    Siouxsun: If you have some snow to spare, Spread the word Donya Quijote is looking for donations! -


Siouxsun: Time for me to spend more time on my writing and a little less time on reviewing.Now that I have a the tools to do so. Thank you nor84 for your detailed instructions!
    nor84: You're welcome! -


Siouxsun: Well this Superbowl is a disappointment. Unless of course you area RAVENS fan!
    redrider6612: I don't know, looks like 49ers are fighting back. -
    Donya Quijote: I'm not a Roman nor a slave to frivolity why should I care about these gladiatorial games? No matter who wins we lose... -
    Siouxsun: Because sports are games that are fun to watch. Its not like its boxing where they deliberately beat each other to a pulp until some one is unconscious or close to it.Although I do admit that some in the games do go over board and try to inflict physical harm on the members of the other team but it is frowned upon and there are penalties in place to deal with the unruly. -


Siouxsun: I'm sorry if I offend anyone with my review.It is not at all my intention.I am just trying to offer others what I myself expect. An honest evaluation with some kind helpful ideas or advice if you think it is needed. That is why we are here right?
    Twilightspire: Don't even worry about it. As long as you are firm but nice, you should be good. The reviews you have done for me have been fair and informative. -
    nor84: Some people expect they should get all five-star reviews, but 5 stars means there's nothing to correct. If you follow the site guidelines and review fairly, there's even a chance at a real $100 from reviewing. The site has a monthly reviewing contest. -
    Siouxsun: Thank you that's encouraging to hear I don't like offending people. I really liked this particular story I commented on. I think sometimes there are certain stories where a writer's heart is so much more emotionally involved than other stories they pen and even a mild suggestion may touch a nerve. Particularly when writing from their own experience or of someone close to them. Maybe I need to be sure to explain my self-better when handling this type of work. -
    Twilightspire: Some people are also over-sensitive when accepting critique. -
    redrider6612: Members aren't allowed to defend their work. Please do everyone a favor and report them. -
    trimple: I was given a bad review because the person did not like the picture that accompanied the writ! LOL -


Siouxsun: The more I find out about FanStory the more I love about it!
    DIS-illusioned: I guess you're not finding much, then. :-p ... LOL! :)) -


Siouxsun: This site is a wonderful find!
