[stylist] Hello

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Donna,

I agree with you. I think the lack of comments is usually due to the
same reasons as to why there are a lack of writing samples posted.

And let me point out that I'm not criticizing but offering an
explanation. Stylist goes through trends, and this is probably directly
related to what is happening in individual lives. For me, when I have a
moment away from baby to write, I try to do so. There are times when I
have more moments than other times. I try to comment on any material
posted, but sometimes I have to choose between life, which is usually
the baby, or Stylist and obviously life wins, grin.

Bridgit

Bridgit,
 You're right about people virtually curling up in a ball, but that's
writing. Another thing is that some of us comment on other's work, and
when we post things of our own, get virtually nothing in return. It can
make a person reluctant to share or comment. Donna

Eve,

Despite the fact that this is a group about writing, when it comes to
actually sharing writing, most of us curl up in a ball and do not test
the waters. We have great discussions, and many post wonderful
information and resources, but when asked to sharpen our skills and test
our abilities, we scutter away.

I think there are various reasons for this including busy lives, writers
block and plain, old fear. Even when challenged with a simple exercise,
which is merely intended to act as a way to get juices flowing and
stimulate our minds, I think some believe they need to post polished
samples of writing when all we need to do is find some spark and write
what's in our head.

It need be only a paragraph and not an entire story or finished piece.
It should have basic editing done to correct spelling, grammar and
structure, but it need not be the great American novel, or world novel
as we have non-Americans on the list, grin.

So anyway, I encourage us to post little tid-bits of writing rather it
be a response to a prompt or something posted independently we wish to
share.

Bridgit

nYou know I think I have figured it out thanks to Jaqueline. I was
wondering why we had so many active disns going on and as soon as
Bridget made a prompt...zilch. It is some sort of glich from the tes
made huh? Well, if it could be figured out now that hopefully the right
people are becoming aware of the issue, that would be great. I do not
know if this will go to the list, but it should easily go to Robert It
seems any time we specify our emails, they ar received. I hope we are
not missing something wonderful and that when things are fixed, everyone
will repost their writings. Eve
