Is this the same thread or a new one? When I clicked on the last page it worked today. How did you do it Scher? This is the same link I had listed in my 'Subscribed Threads", so I guess it is the same - you are a magician, S!:thumbs_up Good job!

Hello country doctor! Glad you took my suggestion. Welcome to the 'Lawrence Short Stories' thread! Let me fill you in a bit, since you might be confused about all this. First, we disbanded for the rest of the summer and planned to come back in Sept and start a new story. Then this thread was locked: long story; but now we are up and running again to my relief and delight. As you probably noticed, we have discussed a lot of good stories in here; sorry you had not joined the forum early, so that you could have participated. These discussions have been just great. However, if you ever want to discuss any that we previously did, let me know and we can discuss the privately. Also, to your benefit, should you read any of them, you can refer back to that story in the thread, for more 'indepth' information and analysis. We have a good group here and we all have now become familiar with Lawrence's work so the discussions keep getting better and better.

Another thing, is that after the updates and the reopening of this thread, the number sequence at the top of the thread, was giving some of us a lot of grief, but thanks to the moderators, namely Logos and Scheherazade it has finally been straightened out.

We will choose another story soon. Maybe we will get started earlier than September. What does everyone think? I am game.

Ok, how about if I post a new story on Monday. You still want me to pick one, right?

Monday? I thought we were waiting for September. How about we do a Tortoise poem this month and start the story in September?

Well, I was going to pick a very 'short' short story - an easy one. I will email you with the suggestion. It won't be too taxing. We can flip back and forth between the two threads. I feel insecure now, like I need to keep this thread open and active....we don't want to fade into oblivion.

Yes I saw your post over there. I will have to take a look at some of the past poems I missed when I get the chance

Nossa, so happy to see you here. Yes, by all means, do join in. This should make for a very good discussion soon. Maybe we should vote on it. I will think of whether it would be better to start a few weeks from now; Virgil had thought it and I had orginially but I am flexible. With all that is going on right now, it might be better delayed a few weeks, but then again now is when we have people interested and I was thinking of a 'short' short story anyway.
I don't know about you but, I can't stop visiting the 'Profile pages, including my own. They are all getting more and more interesting, now that members are adding photos, along with changing the color schemes.

Hey, DM, did you create one yet? I think you could come up with some great imagery, since your blog is quite active. I would love to see what you come up with. I didn't really know what I was doing at first so I just had to try anything to see how it worked, then you can easily delete it or change it. Truly, it is fun. I love yours Nossa!

I think the administrator and the mods were right - this is just the thing now to pep up this site and create more enthusisam. I know I am now more intereted in getting to know everyone and have them participate in the discussions, such as this one.

We have a lot of 'pink/lavender/yellow' themes, but somehow I don't see you as a pink/lavender/yellow type person; am I right? I think of you more dark, mysterious and 'Poeish' and so I think yours will be interesting - maybe some fog and obscurity? There are many black ones already - can't wait to see what you come up with though, DM. I could also picture a dark underwater scene with Poe's famous 'Anna Bell Lee' (sp?) poem floating somewhere in the background, or as a theme.

Hehe I am working on it right now and playing around with it to see what I come up with. But it will be dark more like than not
