[Rich.]

Crack the—crack the—crack, crack, cracking piece of writing. Shivers! Excellent news and a wonderful flash! I loved it here and I love it even more where it is now.

 

[Katie-Ellen]

Thank you @Rich. It made me cry, writing it. I know those Falls.

 

[Rich.]

I can imagine. It made me cry the first time I read it. It's... real.

 

[Katie-Ellen]

I'm honoured @Rich. And glad...if that doesn't seem too mean

 

[Rich.]

Not mean at all. Words have purpose, and yours caught me in a moment when I was open to feel them.

Delighted for you @Katie-Ellen Hazeldine ! That story gave me chills, a beautiful piece of writing (and what a lovely magazine! Apart from the writing of course, but the layout and paintings.)

Splendid salmon, @Rainbird! The layout is very elegant.

I liked it, quick and painless, no unnecessary words.
I like Salmon, very tasty.
I am in the process of sending a short story, I wrote with my daughter, to 'Crack the Spine'. It's only a coincidence but that term relates in a way to the story. It's about premeditated murder and the plans of mice and men.
I had a very short story for IU but I got the date wrong and missed the deadline by four hours.
I hope you are not upset about me voicing my opinion on authors paying to be published and the rest. I proofread for friends for free. I didn't come here to earn money but to communicate as I don't get around much anymore.
Thank you.
Bill.

 

[Katie-Ellen]

Thank you Bill, and best of luck with your sub The more good news to share, the better! No-one here sells to anyone else...but we have one or proofreaders and editors among us, and of course they have their own insights and experiences to bring to the table.

I.T. has been an absolute godsend, physically unable to get out and about so easily as before. Has kept the world wide. 1993, I remember telling students that this thing was coming soon, - 'The Information Superhighway', aka the internet. The speed of development has been incredible. Too fast, probably.
