I am so frustrated! I have not been able to pop in lately as often as I have been doing; so I feel I am missing out from the jolly times we have on TB. I have my copy of WM (and have had for about a week) and I always try to recognise all you good folks from your articles etc. Then when I have the chance to pop in, I spend half my time matching up article and TB user name. ( So now I will hide myself away from the flippin' winter thingey, jumpy, slidy wotsits and spy on you all @-) Is the kettle on :-*
Liz, no I'm still living with the Luddites! I have always resisted doing the soshal meeja stuff as I am such a lazy tyke! Just lately I have used every distraction technique I can not to actually get down and do some writing. I've had a bit of an enforced break but I am now bright eyed and bushy tailed again; but I still am stuck in 'I need to do this before I can write something' mode. I devour the mag when it comes and I think 'Yes I can do that' then I realise that I really need to get some potatoes. Can anyone do CBT and get me out of this denying me time? Fess up as well, I have heard so much about trolls and the negative side of Facebook, I have always steered away from it. I see though that a lot of you TBers use the sites for publicity etc. I know I should get on with it, but I do have to go now and prepare the veg for lunch. Is there no hope for me? But watch this space......I may pop up on F and surprise you all - and me!

I think you're right.
Here's the link to Helen's article about Writing Buddies:

Oh, the huge manatee! The shame...the shaammmmee!
Yes, tis I! I have been 'discovered' :P
Knew you hadn't really gone. And at least you have bouncy things to admit it - unlike some who should really be named and shamed.
*lights cigar*

Really? I missed that.
*checks notes*
Just who can it be...?
Speak for yourself. ~:>
:-*
Hmm, will have to search carefully as I think I know your real name...
Ah-ha! Thanks for that.
(have you noticed I'm scrolling down the posts)
Okay, apart from the mystery letter writer, I'm more or less covered and ready to start reading the mag. :-B

I have a lot of problem with getting time to write due to family and every day life demands, health issues too.
I started by setting myself 100 words a week, and found I soon exceeded that.
There's less problem with trolls than you hear about, and they rarely bother writers...
