Hi,
Introducing myself finally, although I've already read and posted here and there.
Live in rural western canada on a river in the mountains and aside from writing spend my time at horses and housework and gardens and acting in community productions and stuff like that.
I've been stuck for a bit, so I was pretty happy to get motivated to flash a little synesthesia exercise out, that was fun. Looking forward to getting to you know you all a bit. I see lots of effort going into a good site here. Nice. And thanks.
Deirdre
edited to ask two questions:
When was this site formed?
What is mana?

Welcome, Deirdre.
I don't know when the site was formed, but I've been here for close to ten years--or it certainly seems that long. It is the brain-child of Paul Thain and under the auspices of The Internet Theatre Bookshop. Paul is the owner and Administrator. Paddy (also from Canada) and I are co-moderators.
Mana is what you give others or what others give you that turn those little thingies where it says "mana" green. I guess it's like getting a ribbon, a pat on the back or something special. Nobody bothers with it really, but I gave you some. :>)

Welcome Deirdre
You sound like you have a fabulous sense of humour.
Your life sounds SPECTACULAR (being from the desert myself) but I guess living with snow can be tedious at times.
I loved your comment about the crowbar being one of your favorite writing tools.
It made for an interesting image.
cheers ohdear

HI D,
I like the photo with your posts. It is very beautiful. It must be a Canadian Winter?
Reminds me of the Canadian Winter we had in 1978 in Ky. -- freaky weather patterns brought us the most beautiful, fine icey snow from Canada. It paralyzed the whole area. I had to drive through snow tunnels on the road to get to my horses to feed them, and I had to feed the whole herd because nobody else could make it out there.
I saw a UFO then -- at 2 a.m., above a tobacco barn. It was round and had turquoi9se blue lights going around the bottom in a figure 8. Life has never been the same since.

What a gorgeous image & story, thanks for that - never been to Kentucky but I've always imagined it as sort of magical.
