Everyday I check on my account to update by writing or rating. Yet, today, I can't access my account or log-in.. Is it only me or anyone else experienced the same thing today?

I had no idea it was a real medical condition until I was researching narcolepsy and read the symptoms of sleep paralysis. Although I don't have narcolepsy, this is my experience. It was the second night in the hospital after...

sooz48 Like you say, sleep paralysis is a real condition and there are websites that can tell you more about it. I have suffered from this for many years, I don't get it very often, maybe two or three times a year but it can be a terrifying experience. Sleep...

sooz48 Yes you have been lucky :-) Were you able to ask them any questions about their writing? It would be interesting to know how these writers come up with their ideas and what motivates them to keep writing. Thanks for your comment :-)

Hi all, is anyone else out there into genealogy/family history ? ... I have enjoyed learning about my family history and finding relatives online, the journey that began for me a few years ago will go on for years. Once you...

sooz48 Hi, I do agree that once you start looking up your family history it can be very addictive. It can take up more and more of your time and it's such a good feeling when you find a bit more information that will help you to solve the puzzle. Apart from doing my...

sooz48 I'm the same. I can say exactly what I want to say when writing; the words just seem to flow naturally, but when speaking I just can't think of the words. It's as though writing compensates for poor conversation skills. As you say, it's the same brain doing...
