[stylist] Hello

[Donna Hill]

Bridgit,
I find myself faced with the same sort of choice -- though without the baby
-- so I get it, and we do seem to go through cycles on Stylist.

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,
 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
