What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

Tis' the season of tea, warm apple porridge, leg warmers and comfortable knitted jumpers! (And sitting in front of the fireplace )

How cosy it may sound, I do not have the time for it though.. need to get well by Friday.
Concert with oldest daughter on Saturday.

Well, the positive side (if there is any by getting a cold) is that it's Tuesday, so you have some days to take care of yourself and be ready on Friday.

I hope you'll get better soon.

So do I. I am going to flush it all out with buckets of hot tea.

It is the daughter's first real "grown up" concert (her words )

And we are going to see The Hives.

The Hives are a great rockband! I've never seen them live myself but I'm sure you are in for an intense treat!

Should I have a second coffee........

I'm thinking that four dimensional beings cast 3 dimensional shadows ...that thing I saw was not the supernatural being itself but its shadow

Sending you all the healing vibes. You definitely need to fully enjoy the concert and make beautiful memories.

Dunno… but there’s so much fun in Toffifee.

It seems a lot of forum members who have published stories on lit won't even engage with you in pm unless you have read several if not all of their stories.

Even then all they want to talk about is their stories.

Tell us more about this warm apple porridge...

I have noticed that some are so focused on their stories it's nuts. They even have posts that are ads for them.

What'd you order??? What'd you get!

Some alcohol markers - new colors of a brand I really like and a new color book. Learning new techniques on YouTube is really fun to me. Nerd alert…

I like my bush, it's getting nice and thick.

i often forget mine and then someone will mention reading one. i have sigs turned off and i can't be bothered to check my own profile to see if there is any link (would have been from way back). been so long since i wrote one.

some feel the need to link in the forum almost on a daily basis.

Sitting here at the kitchen table reading Lit, and noticing that when I sit here I tend to slide down and down into a slouch. Feels so good to sit up straight and stretch.

I find it interesting that there seems to be a negative element to your post. A lot of people were originally drawn to Lit because of the stories and so it makes sense (to me) that the stories remain their main focus. And if this is the case, then why is that a negative? Just because this place oozes sex doesn't invalidate the writers choice to be here *only* to talk about their writing (even if THAT is just about sex also).

I've written stories here and whilst I don't advertise it beyond linking them in my sig, I do take my writing seriously. Most people I engage have never bothered to read mine. It doesn't offend me and I don't use it as a deciding factor whether to engage with them. However, I am acutely aware whenever someone claims to be interested in me but doesn't bother to read even one of my stories even when I express that I take it seriously. It's like a significant part of who I am is dismissed. It's your prerogative not to spend time reading someone's stories. It's my prerogative to decide if that's an important factor to me or not.

If you don't respect why they're here then why are you trying to engage with them?

And to be even more argumentative, why is it a bad thing for authors to promote their work however and whenever they feel like, on what is a site that encourages writing?

Sorry babes, you and I are having our first argument.

 

[Repeatoffender25]

I think this day is better than yesterday which was an absolute nightmare, but I probably should be cautious it's only halfway through.

I'm curious, what type of engagement are you looking for from a person that, for all intents and purposes, seems to be here for their writing?

Very valid points,

I didn't come here to read erotic stories I came to the forum for the interactivity and have only read a handful of stories, just not my thing really.

It wasn't meant to be negative just a simple statement of fact
