so what have I been doing since mylot went asunder?

Welcome back! It means that you are a creative writer and you believe in doing something, instead of sitting idle. It is good to hear that you have been working on a story and you aim to publish it. All the best.

Well, I only think asunder sounds like that because you said it..lol So tell me about your story. What is the genre and how long is it? Even if it is a short story, I hope you have someone who is not only truthful, but knowledgeable to have read it and helped you, even Stephen Kings has people look at his work before publishing.

I've been visiting MyLot nearly every day, actually, and it was rather like drinking cold, milky coffee with the milk slightly off, so I'm VERY glad that the site is now beginning to see some life again! Of course, that isn't all I've been doing! I joined Bubblews, saw that site very nearly go under and then recover by the skin of its teeth - it's now quite an attractive and usable site, though I still prefer MyLot, somehow. I also joined a number of other writing sites which have opened up in the last couple of years. None of them, however, have quite 'hit it' with me. I am much less of a 'writer' than I am a 'commentor', I find and, on most sites, commenting doesn't earn any money - not that I do it for the money, really, except that it's nice to feel one is getting something: a bit like earning points in a game. Otherwise, life goes on and I take photographs, oversee the building work on my brother's house (now finished), enjoy cooking, take a holiday or two, do a little drawing and painting, play various instruments and sing a little ... all the usual things which make up life, if you have one!

I've only realized who you were just now. Good to see you back!
