These stories gave me the shivers, @rammargarita. I could imagine someone telling them by firelight at a campsite, and none of the campers would be able to sleep that night!

Yes, I'm so glad my iPhone takes decent pictures! Thanks for stopping by, @jadeaca.

Yes there were some art galleries, and I would have been tempted to buy some beach art, if I didn't have to haul it onto a plane! 😁 Thanks for visiting, @millycf1976!

I just love beach art. It gives me a happy feeling. Thanks for stopping by, @joanstewart.

Yes it was just great. Beachside vacations are always awesome. Where I live now, I have to travel to get to the ocean, so it's extra special. Thanks for stopping by, @itsostylish!

Hi @deraaa. This is for people who want to publish their stories in mainstream publications, such as literary journals, horror magazines, sci-fi magazines, etc. Some of these are exclusively online, and

It looks like you are having a wonderful vacation, @dswigle. You are smart to turn down the desserts. It might not be easy to do for a lot of people. You have a strong will! I’m sure you are feeling healthier

There are so many amazing fruits and vegetables in your market. I wish I could go there! You have some fruits I have never seen before.

Oh, too bad, it seems many of your pictures didn’t come through. I would like to see them! The markets sound lovely.

Spring is on the way! We still have three-foot mounds left by the plows. But it will get here too, eventually!

You were a sensitive little boy! I can imagine that those canon shots must have been very loud and frightening.

I think life tests us in many ways, and the road to what getting where we want to go is often a long and winding one!

Oh dreemsteem. You swept me away. And now I'm floating on a tide of tears. You said it all, and yet didn't say it all, in some magical, genius storytelling style. This is an award-winning story, my friend.

It's so terrible when a child is sick and suffering. I'm glad your sister recovered fully!

I really enjoyed that story, @fantom22!

I feel the same, @stuartcturnbull. I agree, there are great reasons to play around with it, and many people are indeed having fun with the tools. But when people pretend that content represents your own

Congratulations, @kingsleyy!

Congratulations, @jhymi! It's a lovely and heartbreaking story.

Congrats on PUD! (I was too busy and missed it. Ugh!) Your post is wonderful. That little kiddo of yours is so darn cute. I love the Spidey jacket. That's so cute that you get spring fever and feel like
