4tulips: I wanted to share my good news to all my friends here at Fanstory. I am now officially a published author! I am so excited I'm not sure how to start to tell you how I did it. Other than it took a lot of patience and many rewrites. I want to share my excitement with all of you because it was here on Fanstory that I got my inspiration to write my story.
    Irish Rain: Congratulations! That's so wonderful! -
    Tootie: HURRAH! CONGRATULATIONS! -
    Selyob: Congrats!!! Here's to your NEXT book! -


4tulips: Hello friends, it has been some time since I was last here sharing my writings and reading others writings and poems. I'm back. I have been writing my memoir for the last 8 years. It's about to be sent off to the publishers, I'm waiting on a correction for one of my sketches.


4tulips: Thank you everybody who has shared their dreams and their pain on fanstory. A new year is about to come apon us soon and I wish that everyone can stand up and take a deep breath. Forget about past mistakes and now focus on what we each can do for one another. Erase last year and start fresh. That is what I'm going to do. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!


4tulips: I'm going on a holiday up north to Haliburton, Ontario!! Oh no, I'll have to relearn everything all over again. Hey, but it's worth it!!
    Grammies: Sounds lovely deary, we'll miss you, have a great time, come back healthy. -
    Maria C.: Hi 4tulips. Welcome to Fanstory. Hugs. -
    4tulips: Hello all, I'm back from holidays. The trees had not yet finished turning their colors. I probably felt the last of the warm sun on my face. GREAT time of some R & R !!!!!! -
    magalbagal: looking forward to seeing more of ur stories.
    it's hard getting out of the R and R and back into the busy days of work. how r u holding up? -
    4tulips: Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day for us in Canada. Another one of those holidays of food, family and fun. I guess I'll do what I usually do, cook spaghetti for one. "Happy thanksgiving to everyone!" -
    4tulips: Safe from Sandy at least for another night. I hope everyone is home safe and warm from the storm. Give thanks to the Lord for our safety. -
    vasquezsavage: Very funnyj! I have no idea what the difference is. I don't ever write in them. I'm still trying to figure out how to edit a book chapter that I listed as a script by mistake. Even support doesn't explain it in a way I can understand. The mysteries of life. Why do potato chip bags never open till they are split down the sides and chips are everywhere. Somebody at lays is laughing at me as we speak. vs -
    vasquezsavage: It seems all your work has been recognized. That is so cool. Your work is so good. I love reading it. Can't wait to get your ideas and advice on my book. vs/ron, -


4tulips: I have experienced a life full of abuse of every kind. As an adult, I'm trying to deal with issues that affect my daily life. So I've started writing a book which will include some of my poems which I have given on this site for honest feedback. I love to write, my friends enjoy my work. I just take one day at a time while I adjust my life to what I want it to be.
    green5587: Tulips, I just read your postings and I must say, did we share the same mother? Your writing reminds me of the same journey I'm on. I'm glad you joined. Never forget, we are survivors(big fat grin)

    4tulips: My journey comprises of never forgetting even when I want to. Dreams turn into nightmares! Thanks to all those who have been brave enough share and encourage the ones who are scared. -
    hollyleann: Isn't it ironic how when you start feeling whole and forgetting for a brief moment that it comes back to bite you in the butt? Story of my life honey. I'm so glad that I found this site and found others out there brave enough to open up about their lives, especially you. You know I have become fond of your honesty and work. Keep it up my "sister". -
    vasquezsavage: I am so impressed with your work and what you have accomplished on this site. You had 327 views of your last poem. I am lucky to have 2 or 3. I guess I don't review enough or reach out to others. Or my work is just not that good. I love your stuff. Such emotion and feeling drips from everything you write. It inspires me and I'm proud to have you following my meager work. God does bless and you have been a great blessing. Please check out my posts later today as I wrote a piece just for you. It is entitled "A Prayer Warrior". I know you have prayed for me as I have for you. We both do have our crosses to bear and I'm blessed with those who get on their knees entering my battles with me. Thanks for your blessing and your friendship. vs -
