I agree! D.K. Christi has a story there :-)

And me. I feel so honored to be there.

Soon, there will be an opportunity to submit to the next anthology, Forever Families. You can mull the theme over in your minds. Same number of words as last time: 3,000-5,000 (of course some stretched that to 11,000!).

Oh yes , I'm in for the new book ..



Cheers..Joe

Hi Joe,

Your story in Forever Travels is just under two thousand words (five pages in the book). Five thousand words would be twelve pages and eleven thousand closer to thirty pages.

Shelagh...

" Thanks !" I'm already on page 2.



Cheers..Joe..

Count me in. When do I send the story? It's a story about my mom and curtains.

How will you get a cover to match Forever Travels? That was is grand.

I have an idea for Shelagh , using our photos as a kid

would look great , sort of a montage...It would attract

attention to the book..

Cheers...Joe..

The photos for Forever Travels were taken by my cousin's son. He has travelled to all the places in the photographs. I saw them on facebook and asked for permission to use them. I will probably do the same again; I'll ask for permission to use photos of families of friends.

I seem to be getting deleted again. Weird.

Shelagh..

You have my permission to use the photo I sent you

of me on a horse, other family photos I don't have of my

brothers or sister since their all deceased. Great idea Shelagh.

Cheers..Joe..

Waves to Ann to make sure she hasn't been deleted.

Dear Shelagh,
I would like to try to write a story, too.

Can the story be totally fiction?

Love,
Betty

Yes, Betty, the story can be totally fiction.

Dear Shelagh,
I have been thinking about writing a real story, too. A story about my family as it really was when I was a child, rats and all. I think I could write a SHORT story. Perhaps begin with the beginning I began in works in progress about Martha.

If it would not be suitable for the Forever Families book, just say so.

Love,
Betty

Betty,

The Forever series of books contain sad stories, happy stories, amusing stories, uplifting stories. While some are better written than others, the latest review on Amazon for Forever Friends seems to sum up the attraction of the books:

"This compilation, which I received as a free e-book, contains short stories, poems and a song about friends and friendship. These short, short stories cover a range of ideas, some humorous, some that tug at your heart, some of adventures in the writer's life.

All by published authors, a few are not as well written as most of the tales, but are still enjoyable. The book is a nice diversion when you need something to pass some time."

If your story is a nice diversion that takes the reader to a different place and time, then it will fit the theme of the Forever series of anthologies.

Shelagh I would like to contribute tell what you would like?

Thanks for the honesty, Shelagh,

My crappy childhood does not fit the theme of the series.

I will write a story of an animal family that I know. I was thinking of writing it as the next story in The Tales Of Wooffer's Woods. The sandhill cranes, Sandy and Sandra are hatching a new baby who should come walking up here from Lester's Field around the firs week of April. I was going to call the story, The Sweet Baby Cranes. I hope it will do.
Love,
Betty

Hi David,

Some poems would be good.

I'll try this again. All I need to do is decide which family - the project sounds like a fun one to be involved in.

Still weird, now my message is trying to get sent twice.
