I'll be racing back from my usual Friday morning shopping to see if the postman has delivered my copy yet.
hang on, I'll just turn to the most well thumbed page of my issue .............. ah,
yes here it is .... ooooh, yes its xxxxxxxxxxxzzzzzsssss
(oops, lost in translation)
Just staggered in with weekly food shop and sitting here with a cuppa + a piece of choc cake. Doesn't it go dark early?
Ho hum. I still can't wait though.
:D
Top story. Really well done
COngratulations Helen, not got my copy yet but will give it a read when I do.
In those days we didn't have the high factor sun blocks like now, so I would be better protected now when exposed to the sun.
And the sun intensity we get now is vastly different to what it was in the 1960's.
As doctors are inclined to do, when new insulins come out,they put as many patients as possible on the new regime- or appear to.
Well they did this to me with my night time long acting insulin, and it just didn't react as it was supposed to. In fact it mucked up my day time short acting insulin as well. After 18 months I'd had enough and told the doctor either put me back on my previous medication, or try me with a different type (that is meant to do the same thing as the other one.)
He gave me another one to try and it worked as it should straight away. I was then able to stabilise the day time doses appropriately, and because I wasn't needing as much insulin to do the same job I began to lose weight, and am back to the size I was before they mucked around.
I don't think we really pay attention to what some medication can do to our bodies, yes it solves a current problem, but can give you others you didn't have before.
Sorry for sidetracking the thread folks!
has on a person, as I have to take many tablets for angina, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. I know that the result is tiredness and lack of creativity or maybe this is just my excuse for not producing more work!
If you have had this problem for a while do go and discuss it with your GP. It may just need some adjustments. Be firm.
It's no wonder you're lacking creativity if you're tired all the time.
I'm glad people have enjoyed reading it, I just hope I can think of more now. You never know.

you'll find we've already crossed and burnt that particular bridge, Jay.
By the way, I went onto your site to have a look at your work and there's some great comments about your writing, isn't there - good for you! :o)
This site is so addictive, I wish I had more time to reply and read other people's messages. I'm at work now, and keep flicking over to this! :o) Better get some work done.
I noticed in the talkback area my name was there for the first time. It was great to see it. Another few words in print. It makes up for the last two rejections I've just had.
Hi Nephilims child, hope you get yours soon! I remember when I didn't get mine and when I phoned, they told me my subscription had ran out. I forgot which month I paid up to.
Mainly I'm waiting for an agent and publisher to get back to me. I've been dragging my heals over starting a new project because should either of the above want to take my proposals further, I don't want to be in the middle of things. Having said that last night I started work on one as it was niggling at me to be written.
With short stories I think I fail because the magazines mostly seem to want really complicated stories - I seem to write simpler plots character driven and they don't seem to fit. I'll have to try harder.
