Jem: Thank you! I can’t imagine anyone reading my stuff once, let alone re-reading. ;)

Lynn: Hello and welcome, Lynn. Emotional and wordy is our specialty here! Feel free to indulge.

I think I may have just fallen in love with your words.
I think you may have just made me utterly captivated with a feeling I haven’t felt for a while.
I think I may have to break up with my boyfriend now.
He doesn’t like me having emotions, or being wordy.

This deserves a few re-readings. I got more each time. Disturbing and inspiring in perfect measure. I particularly like the line ‘I am queasy with the ghost and green with the promise I can’t fulfill.’

Z: I had at least a couple of packets and three kettles worth, promise.

AUW: Please sleep. It is important and good. Thank you.

Clarissa: Oh, definitely. I compared it to drugs and orgasms, so yes, I’d say so!

Lissa: It’s a release, though it feels very short-lived, but yes, it always helps. Glad it did for you, too.

The Happy Misfit: Thanks. That last line weighs on me like an overstuffed shoulder bag.

Dinos: Gosh, thank you, you make me sound positively hallucinogenic. [Your twenty quid is in the post.]

This is like a mid-way scene from the main character in my first (yet to be made, and may never be made) feature film.

Damn, I love the way you are able to create such mood and intensity with your words… and the imagery that comes from that.

beautiful particularly the fourth stanza. i felt incredible dark myself and wrote a morbid fairy tale. it lifted me a bit. i hope writing this released some of the darkness from you.

But does the act of writing some of those riproaring phrases not chirp you up?

I’m probably not going to sleep tonight, after reading that.
(In a good way, I hasten to add.)

Hmmm. Did you have that cup of tea and cigarette?

(That was lovely. And horrible).
