Holy crap, he pulled the rod out himself?? That's a wild story, @samsmith1971. Yeah, metal is just wrong inside our bodies. I guess some people don't really notice, but my foot was like: "This foreign

Yes, that's a great way to put it, @agmoore. I absolutely think I have muscle memory working for me! And that's so great we both decided to blog in this community on the same day! I'll find you!

I love it, @lizelle. I do exactly the same thing! And I love how pictures help to give a blog post a focus and a theme. I could literally write 200 blog posts — actually probably far more — just by blogging

Thanks very much!

Thanks @bostonadventures. Getting back into blogging or anything you haven't done in a long time just requires that push for consistency and hard work So true! I agree 100%. Plus I have to limit the time

Thanks for the kind words, @shanibeer. With blogging, I just need to carve out the time and make it happen. Like all things, there's time, if you schedule it!

Thank you, @slobberchops! It's crazy, but darn fun. I'm doing lots of author interviews, podcasts, etc. Did not see that coming.

Congrats on your anniversary!

How wonderful. Congratulations!!

Congratulations on your graduation, @marriot5464! I enjoyed your story and reading about your choice to go the route of honesty.

Congratulations on your first creative nonfiction story, @walindo. You have a nice way with dialogue and storytelling. I thought I would provide some helpful tips. Creative nonfiction has similar storytelling

Wow, what a surprising and tragic twist, @nancybriti1. A very clever story, but it is especially heartbreaking because Farre remained loyal to his friend!

What a lovely story of challenges overcome and hope for the future, @samsmith1971. I absolutely love how you wove in the story of Daniel and how at the end of the story his misdemeanor just doesn't matter.

I really enjoyed your story, @loveth97. You worked in a clever and interesting plot, and your dialogue is very good. The relationship between the parents is so charming!

Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear that you are going through a rough time, @nancybriti1. A cyber-hug to you! I hope things get better soon. 🤗

I really enjoyed this story, @wongi. It shows that friendships can develop in the strangest ways! Your writing always has a nice sense of humor. Please remember to read and comment on the work of at least
