WindUpEnigma on September 4, 2008I was just wondering how you are these days. Remember me? Do you ever stop by my page anymore? I just haven't heard from you in so long...

burntoutandwasted on February 12, 2008Well, Turns out I have school today, which blows beyond belief! It was nice, however, to come on and check all the amazing comments you left!! I can't thank you enough!! Not only for the comments, but the advice and understanding as well! Also, I went to Dictionary.com, to look up that word ( incalcitrant), and there we're no definitions found the word. So not only did I take out the time to look it up, which we both know I don't do for just anybody, but there was nothing!! Shucks! Anyhow, thank you again for everything...Really..

Yvette Champ on July 1, 2007I read your short story at storywrite re scotterbutch and pollylops and enjoyed it immensely,perhaps I didn't realize how much until it ended and I was disappointed that there wasn't more,the end was a tad vague but perhaps that added too it,I was unable to comment at storywrite as don't have an account there.Good luck with your creativity.

WindUpEnigma : *poke* on June 5, 2007Haven't heard from you in a long while...was just wondering how it goes with you...

Danna Hobart on August 26, 2006Well, Reverand, thanks for stopping by my author page!
It is good to hear from you. I am at my mom's at the moment because my home phone line is not working. It is supposed to be fixed on Tuesday. I sure hope so. Living without my internet is not easy, especially when I am taking an online class!
I can't wait to hear the story of how you became a man of the cloth

Darianna on August 9, 2006HUGS!!!

Amicus2K9 on April 13, 2006Apparition? Not sure of the meaning of your comment, but happy to know you are out there kicking around somewhere.

Amicus2K9 on February 9, 2006Hello and thank you for taking the time to answer and for a real reply, and yes, rare and I treasure those I discover.
You have the clear ability to write, I was not patronizing you and I truly did enjoy your style of writing.
Strange coincidence, in addition to a daughter in Portland, I have another married daughter who in January moved to San Diego, they are settled in a house, kids in school, the dad is a Marine and she is looking for work and working on her Masters Degree. She also has a page on AP Memori Lane and she has had a life similar to yours and may well like to find a friend. It might be nice if you two could hook up.
Thank you for telling me a bit about yourself and being honest about it, that is also quite rare.
Always available to talk if you have the need.
regards....
amicus...

WindUpEnigma on February 8, 2006It's nice to be noticed. I was expecting, as usual, only the standard AP greeting, and maybe a few comments along the lines of, "it was good". Those always disappoint me, rather than encourage. But imagine my surprise when I found...exactly what I've been looking for a long time. Someone who reads, not only my poetry (which is indeed a very clear window into my soul), but my short stories as well. They don't get the attention they deserve, short stories on AP *shakes head*.
As for why I focus my stories on the things I do...well, I was going through some rough times when I wrote those. "Of Streetrats and Elves" was written for my Creative Writing class, a short time after I moved back in with my father, after spending a couple months on the streets of Portland. I've been homeless for about a year and a half now, but never, aside from those few months, actually on the street. It was a side of life I'd never seen before, and at first I could see the...poetic side of it all. But now...now (in San Diego), I see nothing but wasted lives, hopelessness, failure, despondency. I don't want that. I'm struggling to life myself out of this mess I, by my own childish decisions, put myself in.
You're right in that man can be beautiful in his own right. But, left to his own devices, he so seldom follows that path. Especially in the city. Everywhere I look is ugliness, vice, the slime and filth that seems to permeate everything. I think I just need a break from this place, go back home (I grew up a farmgirl, maybe that explains a bit).
And love...I used to have trouble believing in it at all. "Love is illusion" was one of my favorite things to say. But I found it once, and it broke me. I've found it again, and it's piecing me back together. So hard to have faith that the fire you warm your hands by won't consume you whole, when you've been so badly burned before.
"Earth's Lament" was inspired, not by a song in one of Terry Brooks' books, but by one of my favorite characters of his, Quickening. An elemental who did, with much more story to it, essentially the same thing as my own magical creature in this piece--sacrifice herself to heal.
I don't have green eyes. Well, not usually. They're normally gray, but go greenish, blue (both dark and light), purple-ish, blue-and-brown...once in a while, I think they get confused, because the right will be green while the left stays brown-and-blue. Green eyes have always been my favorite though. There's something about them that's always captured my imagination--they're daring, mysterious, bold. Not like my boring-blue. And in my stories, I can have whatever colors I want.
Despite what my stories may say about me, I'm not fatalistic. Things don't always end horribly. They always go awry, somewhere along the way, but just because things don't turn out the way we'd choose if we were God, doesn't mean they don't turn out good or right or maybe even better than we could have imagined. It's just that...well, my mother says I'm "emo." I like to cry. And so, in my stories as well as real life, I create situations that are nothing but pain and heartache. I suppose I like to cry. I've said many times, I'm not happy when I'm happy. *shrug*
Alright, enough of my rambling. It would be nice to have someone new to talk to though. I stopped using IMs quite a while ago, just didn't feel like talking to anyone, but maybe it's time I start again.

TearStaindTeddyBear on January 28, 2006Wow! you're amazing. Thank you sooo much for all the comments on everything. My story needs some work, I'm trying to fix all that I can. So I like to have some comments of stuff that I did wrong. I have her thoughts in italics, but I dunno. This site doesnt put it in italics without me having to do stuff so I just put quotes. I started off writing it as a poem, but it ended up being too long. So I made at as a story and it ended up getting longer than I thought. So the first two chapters are true. and then rest I sorta made up bases off of true experiences. That's sorta why the paragrahs were so long, It wasnt really going to an an actual story. But now I am trying to make the chapters better, and try to get it published when I finish it. But once again, thank you sooooo much. and I'll comment on your stuff as soon as I can.

Apparition on October 11, 2005Have gotten into geo-caching..one was a virtual cache...a bridge in a certain park. You have to pace off the distance to this bridge and watch the sunset instead of a real treasure find...you find a real treasure. The bridge is built so low it doesn't mar the landscape, so it's a surprise if you don't know it's there. After watching the sunset, then you have to email the cache poster the paces it took to reach the bridge, then you can claim a find. Think it is one I will return to more than once. Hope all is well and that the Oregon coast chases away your doldrums.

Danna Hobart on April 29, 2005Morning Star was accepted for publication Could have never got there if not for you.

Eithne on April 27, 2005I would just like to thank you ecstatically for your feedback on my writing. I do remember the first time I came across you on this site... and then your author page and comments abruptly disappeared, and with it some of the only meaningful commentary I'd ever received.
In response to your question on one of my stories of whether I've changed, I must say that I have. The past year and a half has been a profound period of self-discovery. I've actually had a long period of decline with regards to my writing; I actually went some five months without writing anything at all. I've come up with one short story in the past year, but it was lost when my computer decided to die on me. Lately, though, I've been feeling a surge of inspiration, so hopefully I will be able to reach the quality and quantity of my earlier work... and start writing prose again period. -
IhopeUchokeNdie on March 23, 2005hey man i really miss ya its been like forever... much love and luck...and hopefully our paths will cross again...
love always...lil princess -
neurosine on February 23, 2005I thought about publushing with Publish America. I submitted something and they accepted it. I did a little research and found quite a few horror stories regarding inescapable contracts, litigation, and allegedly falsified reyalties. I decided not to go with them.
I hate to break this to you now. But if it goes bad you may mark it down as a 'learning' experience. I'd like to know how your experience goes. Maybe the people I read were simply jerks. I do kinda doubt it though. -
