Okay, my name is Sean Brijbasi.  I've published one book that has

Hello,

My name is Antonio. I am employed as a technical writer, tho i haven't been
doing much writing as of late on the job (ATM, i am reformatting documents,
which will then be proofread for errors and so on) (well, yes, it's a
paycheck). I had joined ticket2write back when it was a club, but have not been
too active as of late.

I also haven't been too active in just writing in general. even just for
pleasure. I have a lot of fiction fragments, scrawled ideas et al, including a
ton of poems that are pretty much collecting dust. My present goals are to
start more actively writing, or at least to just sort thru all that crap and
start working with it (or to trash it, but is there ever really a chance of
that happening?) as well as just retooling what i do have for some sort of
sales, in particular the poetry.

My main interest is science fiction, with horror as like an alternate. the
poetry has been more like therapy when i needed it, and it has the feel of a
spoken-word kind of style.

I keep saying i want to be a writer, but the writing in and of itself, hasn't
really been happening. The technical writing job does satisfay my needs to a
certain extent and it has been implied that my fate involves education of some
sort. well, with the technical writing, everything is satisfied, i get to
write, and fate is content because the end result of the writing is education.

Written by feeling from the new-age instrumental by Patrick O'Hearn

The Women of Lachaise

In stone hewn with age and vine
comes the wail of many souls
whose loves were lost upon the sea
"He's never coming back to me,"
cry the women of Lachaise.

He sought this place of open air
where autumn leaves held hidden steps.
He sought these ghosts of dying love,
navigating the stars above to find
the women of Lachaise.

With pack and faith and stories told
he awaited, "world - unfold!
Show no further mortal cares
in this land of heaven
save one...a love long gone."

Now pale, an image breaks the dark doorway
and from every frame
comes the same
slowly whispering in winds about him
"He's never coming back to me."

A fear, a curiosity
'tis both, now that I see
in this man who follows
the dampened path
of the centuries' mourning souls.

He walks with them this haunted path,
o'er stair of stone and bristled weed,
sparkled rivulets, autumn leaves -
he trailed the spectors' forming line
to where the stair met the sea.

Each image knelt in grievance there
"He's never coming back to me,"
then stretched a hand to touch the sea
and shimmered as the sunlit waves
before resuming their ghostly state.

What sorrow seen in these grave faces
his heart held in empathy,
"He's never coming back to me,"
was in their eyes and the chill of death
waiting in each trace along his cheek.

"I weep for them, I weep for them,"
he cried in love-lost agony
and with each tear he shimmered more
leaving only the pack he bore
and a new stream ran to the stone stair shore.

Each age'd spirit now faded out,
back to the stone, back to the halls
- save one new whose fade now begins
"He's never coming back to me,"
then drops the pack into the sea.

Writing books for children is not as easy as it looks.  Clever
writers do a lot of research before sitting down to write a book for
such an observant and discerning group of readers as those
under 12 years of age.  Librarians are a great source of
information about what is new and exciting in the world of
children's books.

For an historical perspective of the best books written for
children, be sure to consult the list of  Newbery Medal Winners,
1922 to 2002 - http://www.ala.org/alsc/nquick.html

I also highly recommend Carol Hurst's Children's Literature Site
http://www.carolhurst.com

This site provides a collection of reviews of great books for
children, ideas of ways to use them in the classroom and
collections of books and activities about particular subjects,
curriculum areas, themes and professional topics.  There is
plenty of good advice for writers, and you can enter your e-mail
address to receive a newsletter from Carol Hurst.

I would love to hear from writers of children's books at
ticket2write.  Children are very special people and deserve the
best we have to offer.

Why Animals?

Why, when someone behaves badly, do we refer to them as animals?
Think about it. What animals would murder their own kind simply
because they had a different religion? What male animals would hunt
in a group to rape a lone helpless female of their own species or
abduct a cub for sexual gratification and then kill and bury it?
Admitted they are not all monogamous. A bitch on heat will usually
stand for any amorous dog. So will many females of the extant genus
homo when approached by a rampant male. So in that sphere at least we
are similar.
Yes, animals will kill, but in most cases it is necessary to their
survival, not because they have a different colour or creed.
So, why not turn the tables and if an animal behaves in a loathsome,
repulsive manner let us say they are acting like humans.

See you in the zoo
Best regards
Wings

Am I in?  I get the messages by email, so I don't
think I missed anything.  But I haven't been able to
post.  Let's give this a try!

Audrey Shaffer here, from Western Pennsylvania, USA.
Not sure I can call myself an author yet, only one
short story published under my name.  But I've sold 4
ghost-written stories, and I'm currently racing to the
deadline for two booklets for a publisher out of
Florida.  Contract writing, so no name recognition
there either.

My 25 year class reunion is coming up this summer.  I
wanted to put "Author" as one of my occupations, but I
guess I'll have to settle for "Freelance Writer".

I do have a web site at www.audreyshaffer.com , and I
send out a monthly newsletter.  As my site is hosted
on Yahoo, it only seems to be there half the time. lol

I don't post much, but I read everything!

Audrey

I'll try this again and see if it goes through.  (I've had nothing
but headaches with this new club format, grrrrr!)

My name is Sharon, and I live in Northern Michigan.  I write mostly
poetry, short stories, a few children's stories, and some
devotionals.  I've also had a novel in progress for several years.  I
have some of my writings posted on www.stories.com under the user
name sharylee (if anyone is interested in reading my work).  I've had
several newspaper articles published, a short stories in "Voices of
Michigan" vol. 2, and some poetry in local chapbooks and such.  My
latest news is that I'm currently taking a creative writing course at
the college in my town, and I'm loving it!  It's been interesting and
challenging, and hopefully, will make me a better writer.

I'm not around here as much as I used to be, because time doesn't
permit.  But I do still read many of the posts.  This is the only
Yahoo Club that I've stayed with, because I believe it is better than
most.  We have our founders to thank for that.  I appreciate all the
time they devote to making this a great club, full of resourses and
helpful advice.  My best to everyone.  Keep writing!

Remain Blessed Everyone With Passionate Love We Shall All Be Blessed.

Monday I was headin out the door in a hurry;
up pops an email from the TV/cable chick who
interviewed me for her 30 min show a few
saturday's ago.

she had been listening to the radio station that I had
done twice in that city, and she said that the hosts were
going on vacation for the month of July and were auditioning
for folks for replacements for them while they were gone.
(this is MY most favorite town in the world!)

So I got on that baby in a New York Minute, and fired off
an email to the host, about *me, me, me!* please consider etc!
I was excited major ! Fame had flowed to my door ! This was
one of my big shots! I was salivating !

I get an email this morning from the host and she said, it was
an april fools joke, and that they weren't going anywhere!

and then she wrote:  *However, the idea of your co-hosting
sometime in the future when I take a legit vacation is not out
of the realm of possibility.  Talk to you soon.  *

so I just Grinned HUGE, that was a good one, and her future
note was icing on the cake!

so I go back to salivating now !
Love Susan

Hi,
  I am Shydove and have been in the group for some time but never post very much.
I do read as many of the posts as I can though, and have found it to be very
helpful, especially Suzianne's character sheet the other day. It seems she is
always posting such helpful articles for us that I make sure I check in often.
I have one published historical novel and another waiting for
acceptance/rejection. I have a multitude of short stories submitted but haven't
heard from any of those. I have sold some articles and given away some
writing--according to the cause and how much I am affected by it.
I haven't written much lately as I am getting ready for a move at the end of
this month and it is taking most of my time.
Thanks everyone for all the helpful posts. I hope to be back and post more often
in the near future but until then...happy trails to everyone.

Terri Garr in Young Frankenstein...LOL

I'm Swede.  I've been here for about a year...maybe more.  I've
posted frequently at times but do tend to go in spurts.  My lax
posting times usually coincide with insane school times.  I'm a 39-
year-old college student finishing a degree I began 20 years ago.
I'll graduate with a BA in English and a History minor in Dec. 2002.
Then it's on to the Univ. of North Texas for a Masters in Technical
Writing.  If there are any Tech. Writers out there that can tell me
what to expect i'd be very grateful.  Here's another thing.  I really
want to teach English at the university level but don't feel I have
the time to get the PhD required.  I could teach at the two-year
college level with a masters but the pay is really low...especially
in Oklahoma.  And leaving Oklahoma isn't an option.  Secondary
education also pays poorly and I don't want to teach at that level.
That leaves Tech Writing or?????  I'm torn.  I don't desire to tech
write as I do teaching but I have a family to feed.  Any
suggestions?

Love to all...and hi Suzianne.  Is Nebraska any warmer than the Windy
City?  They call Chicago that but, hey, you aint experienced wind
until you've experienced Nebraska wind...LOL...I've lived in both
myself too.

see my heart of envy
green as jade jaded jagged
days bleed into night
treacherous kisses
tongues move without words
writhe under scorpion moons
birds sing silence
with their throats cut
hanging hollow
stuffed with grief
over this serpent sea
seeing with Horus eye
my heart of darkness
night as black
blackened blue
beaten Bitter rain
falls like love
will you hold me
will you leave
i am frozen
i am numb
will you hold me
will you come?

Congratulations on your submitted book. Hope it gets
published before you find all your stuff after the
move.

My Poem Reguarding September 11, 2001

Come In Front of Me You Coward

By Meg Conway


Do you have something to say?
Or something you'd like to do?
To Me perhaps? Huh?
Well Come In Front of Me You Coward

I'll admit, I've been weak before
But, that was before I looked
And saw someone standing behind me
Someone who loved me and cared
Someone who was frail themselves
Till I held them up on my own
Because I loved them
Now, we're strong together

Please, Come In Front of Me You Coward
I'll show you strength
Not just me and my friend
But, the five people behind my friend
They all know about love
That's why we form this line

There is something you don't understand
Something you never will
Something how our strong love just spills into a lesson
About how we may come to our knees
Because we may have been brought there
By someone like you or we may be worshipping each other
But, you'll never know will you

Do you have the courage to Come In front of us
Yes, Me and the Thousand behind me now
Do you realize what you've done
Well whatever you tried to do failed
Because I don't think this is the result you wanted
You tried to tear our Spirit
But, can you count now how many miles
This line in back of me is
And I really doubt you want to destroy
The thousand behind me
Or the million behind them
Because the line just gets longer and longer

So, we here are America
A Strong line of Love and Spirit
If we fall backwards or forwards
Backwards someone will catch our fall
Forwards we've always reached out
So, we'll reach out and catch them
With all the chanting going on here
I cannot think
So, I'll just ask do you want to
Come In Front of Me You Coward

(c) 2001 By Meg Conway

I liked it too. Even if our own leaders are eventually proven responsible for
the attacks, we are still unified and in-line.

I owe a great deal of thanks to Yahoo for completing its transition
into Slowhoo.  From the time I clicked to enter T2W until the time it
took to load the homepage, I got several of my stories up,
and out the door to publishers.  All kidding aside, this club is
taking so long to load pages (at least for me) that I don't have
the time to wait to read all the messages I'd like.  I'm
not noticing this with other clubs.  Is anyone else experiencing any
of the same?

All the best,
