Sankey

Sankey: Adding to my last comment I forgot Ulla, and Barbara Wilkey and there are still more prosers out there.

Sankey: I want to take this opportunity to welcome an old FS friend back to the "fold." If you are an oldtimer I like me and some others you might remember BethShelby. She left us to do other stuff back in 2013 but she is now back. A favourite prose writer of mine. We don't have enough prose writers in FS now Michael Cahill Phyllis Stewart and others are gone. So if you want a break from poultry hehe (Poetry) look for Mastery; Tony Fawcus, Ben Colder, Brett West and some other ladies I can't think of right now, and Beth writing her Biography of her and her late hubby atm.

Sankey: Is case you have missed me the last few days our Internet was out. I am BACK!

Sankey: Is anyone else missing out on notifications from those you fanned? I was missing one of my favourite writer's stuff when the big money was on even though we are fans of each other. I have reported it to Tom.

Sankey: Well folks it is the 16th in Aussie land that means today is my last day after nearly 7 years as a premier member of this site. Some say I can still post and review in basic but I doubt that is true. What would be the use of Premier Level if we could P & R in basic. See you around folks.

Sankey: Only a few more days and sankey will go basic, folks. Same for Tootsie55 a couple of days later. Some say I can still post and review on basic but I don't believe that is true. I think I have been on this site for almost Seven years. At least 6, I reckon. Bye all!

Sankey: Note to let all the "Up Overs" and anyone else know that I am reading and reviewing, but not wasting "funny Money" promoting stuff I am not sure is gonna get read. Let me know if you are not away on VACATION! Otherwise, rewardless posting will continue till end September.

Sankey: Ah well. promotion is over. He should allow longer in the Up Over Vacation timer really!

Sankey: Looks like if I am still here next Northern Summer I have to shut down for three months. Us "Down Unders" need more time of promotion at this time of the year at no extra cost. We already pay more for our membership due to exchange rates.

Sankey: Thinking I might stick with reviewing my Aussie and other friends in here while you "Up Overs" disappear on your Vacations. Let us know if you plan on sticking around. I just paid for another Month. I hope it was worth the expense.

Sankey: Hope some of you "Up Over" folks are not going away for Vacation during your Summer. Us "Down Under" Folks and others are still here wanting to read your stuff and you to read ours. Maybe we should skip FS from June to September? let us kniow you are still around ok.

Sankey: What a blessing and Joy in the Lord to meet yet another Bro in the Lord on FS. Lord Bless Bill and Roy and George and any others I forgot and the ladies as well.

Sankey: Doing a final, final edit of my biography and came across a chapter with a Revive Certificate on it! Yay!

Sankey: For those of you who were interested to catch up on more of Sankey's Holiday trips that were recorded in "Our Trips" Book on Tootsie55 account, (Louise's writings with my help with editing and pictures) it is now up and running once more. Enjoy!

Sankey: AH well after all my hard work at a final edit of my biography I am informed by a fellow British Speaker that American rules on double and single expression marks are just that. American and NOT British or Australian. But I can't be bothered going back and changing them again!

Sankey: Some of you are aware we lost my book due to something dumb I did. Thanks to Tom it is back up and I cleaned some other old files out. I am not looking for deep reviewing this is just coming up for some new friends as I prepare to publish.

Sankey: Just to let folks know. I mentioned recewntly that Tom was able to rescue my autobiography. However so you all know it is messed up and the versionb Tomhas got back is a combination of very old posts and with a lot of errors and more recent. So a lot of tidying up to be done. Please disregard The Little Dog book for now thanks.

Sankey: Yay! Looks like after nearly 5 years with FS I finally made it in the winning circle. Appreciate barking dog for letting me know of my tie for third. How long before I do it again, ha?

FanStory wrote to Sankey: A Sad Parting finished third in the contest "Rhyming Poetry Contest"

Sankey: Most grateful to Tom for restoring my autobiography I accidentally Deleted a couple of weeks ago. It is good to know all is not lost even when we stuff up. Thanks Tom.

Sankey: Somehow my autobiography "The Little Dog That Wouldn't Let Go" ended up in Disabled I thought. I imagined I must have had a copy of my book in there. I deleted it...and now have lost my book on FS. Glad I have it on Word. Dunno how that happened. I was not ready.

Sankey: Appreciate Jay Squire's advice to not add any more to my biography as he said we could go on until we are dead making changes. So consider Little Dog completed. Just gotta find a publisher now, while I finalize things..

Sankey: Yay! I worked at it now on level 50! Yippee!!!

Sankey: "The Little Dog That Wouldn't Let Go" was completed this morning. SO glad to finally write "THE END!"

Sankey: It became apparent that some of you are or were confused about my name. In FS I am Sankey, in real life I am Geoffrey Moore. Thanks for all trotting along with me.

Sankey: My intro to my book on Rants Raves and Tributes about FS things has just been promoted for the last time. Just in case some new folks have not happened on it yet.

Sankey: Putting up a tribute to a dear old Saint and Late (I think)fellow Fanstorian Evelyn Stewart I wrote some time ago for newer friends to read.

Sankey: I put up a new poem today on a subject dear to quite a few FS'ers if anyone is interested.

Sankey: Something happened this morning that made me decide to have one of my few goes at contests in FS.

Sankey: Old and new friends I just put up another new whacky poem. Look for "Tap Dancing"

Sankey: I have made some updates to "Geoffrey's Musings" especially for some of the chapters with Music seeing I figured out how to add the converted MP3 files to some that were not working before. For any who are interested.

Sankey: Hey old and new friends. I beat the New Year by figuring out how to get my Carols music working. If you would like to try them again go to my Really Truly Carols Book and Click on the second link on the top of each chapter. I discovered I had to put the music (MP3 files) in the READING section. bleah! Hope you enjoy them.

Sankey: Having one more go as we are in the Festive Season of promoting my Book of "Really Truly Christmas Carols" I apologize if the music does not work I have made suggestions as to how you can get alternative ways of hearing the carols, thanks. Hoping to go to Publishing with this book real soon.

Sankey: To all my followers I have just today inserted an extra chapter in my biography. Held back for reasons I did not understand until this week. It is a bit sad, just a warning.

Sankey: I made some changes to the photos on this the very beginning of my story. We are hopefully nearing the end of preparation.

Sankey: Chapter 30 of my biography has had another edit and some interesting changes. If you have followed this you might be interested to look again. Not loaded with rewards as it has the top award already. There is a link to a song of mine that does not belong on the top please ignore. I had trouble getting rid of it.

Sankey: Wrote a poem on my thoughts about Halloween some years back thought it was time to get it out again.

Sankey: I put up some sound advice for all who didn't know...and neither did I, until this morning.

Sankey: I recently tried to help a fairly new friend with the idea of doing more reviews in order to build up "Funny Money" so they could promote their own stuff to a wider audience by better rewards. I now present, again a poem I wrote some time ago in that vein.

Sankey: Looks like I wasted a heap of funny money re-promoting a chapter of my book with extra info in it for ONE new review. Sigh!

Sankey: Hey Gang Chapter 30 and 33 of "The Little Dog That Wouldn't let Go" are being promoted again for newer members/friends as I made some additions to them. They are paying ok!

Sankey: Due to some more recent news and info I have edited a couple of old chapters of my biography. They are up now for your interest. particularly from newer friends.

Sankey: I just put a Chapter of my biography up for another read as I recently added to it on inspiration from a movie we just watched again that relates to the chapter as well. Apologies to new friends who have not seen my life story before.

Sankey: Had another reminder today. We all MUST do refreshes before we review stuff. I am getting caught all the time finding errors in reviewed work that have already been corrected but I did not see the update as I did not REFRESH before reviewing!

Sankey: Some of my friends and others felt like my "Wall Scrawl" poem needed more. Well have at it. I have given it two more verses. I debated the need to promote again but see what you think.

Sankey: I was asked for more of the subsection of my biography on my wife's time in the hospital and afterwards. So Chapter 5 of that part is up now!

Sankey: Just had a really lousy vote for a poem I put up. Talk about grrrr. If the person was a newby, I would understand but seeing they have been on the site since 2009 and have not done any reviewing, or much anyhow. Sheesh! GOODBYE!

Sankey: Spring has finally arrived in Australia, as of yesterday. (Sept 1st Down Under!)so thought it was time to get "Spring is 'Ere" Up again. First Stanza by Mr Anonymous Second Stanza ALL MINE! Enjoy!

Sankey: Sorry if this is a repeat, I just crashed. I just put up my one and only 1 act play for another review. Hope some of my new friends enjoy it.

Sankey: Due to something I just learned today I was prompted to add to one of my chapters of my book (biography) so here you go again for a further edit.

Sankey: If you are missing me, it is because I am busy visiting Louise and working on an updated chapter for my biography very relevant to current times.

Sankey: Put one of my essays up for more reviews. I thought it was on a Revive Certificate alas I was wrong. But all are welcome some of you probably have not seen it before. It is one of those stories not a lot of people talk about. Some rather suffer than get solutions.

Sankey: I made a new friend in here yesterday and I have been trying to introduce her to this poem. Thought the best way was to get it out again on a Revive Certifcate. First verse is not mine but the second verse is my invention. (Spring might be on "Up Over" atm but not"Down Under" for another couple of Months.

Sankey: OK folks dug out yet another of my weird and whacky stories for ya.

Sankey: Got another old poem out on Revive Certificate folks, a bit of a hint about some of our bad experiences in travels we may write about again later.

OK so now chapter 17 is up for another look from my faithful friends with saome additions due to a convo I had with some FB friends the other day. Parts 1 and 2 of chapter 1 have had the pictures reversed if you wanna look sorry no rewards on those.

Sankey: So pleased! Not sure if Tom opened it up for me to do it; but I figured out how to change the title of my Autobiography to include the Subtitle. So now the book Title in full is: The Little Dog That Wouldn't let Go. Subtitle: God Never Lets Go!

Sankey: Hi to all my great followers and fans and reviewers. I hope I have now completed my Autobiography all 34 chapters of it. Still a bit final edit and open up for a book wide review. Watch for the Rewards!

Sankey: Glad to have some new reviewers on board. Noticing how we all differ on use of commas. I cut back on use of commas as I was getting chided for too much use.
Now I am battling with the "I" or "me" thing. I won't into then "it's" or "its" thing today Sigh!

Sankey: Someone help please. I did write to Tom and I know Mikey helped one time but need to know again the acceptable size of chapters. Is in excess of 2000 words too much? Glad MIkey told me how to do the word count on Word yay!
