This Five Minute Friday is great for honing writing skills - you should check it out and give it a go yourself, would love to read your pieces!<br />And I'm glad my pieces leave you wondering - I like to raise questions in people's minds. <br />I've been lucky - sometimes the content just pours out, plus due to my past jobs as PA, my typing speed it up to 80 wpm!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896832888635376002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744864988346292705.post-73264774747147356662012-08-11T23:17:20.775+03:002012-08-11T23:17:20.775+03:00Do you actually have a stopwatch going?

Right now I'm connecting with a friend over text and Facebook and she's sharing hard things with me I don't think she could in person. It's a way for her to feel safe yet share her heart at the same time. The virtual distance has helped her open up in a way she couldn't in person. And for that, I'm thankful!Tammy Perlmutterhttp://www.tammygrrrl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744864988346292705.post-52560691441556185642012-08-10T17:12:46.448+03:002012-08-10T17:12:46.448+03:00Hi Bex!

Thanks for visiting with FMF today.<br /><br />I like to connect in any way I can - although I prefer either face to face (with a good cup of tea) or via a written medium, be in email, snail mail, texting or chatting.

I think you have to do it to write anything interesting about travel, even if what you happen to publish seems not particularly romantic.<br /><br />By the way, that might be an interesting subject: what goes on in the head of serious travelers who don't write? Have we any good way to find out? We really only know about those who write about their travels.DEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017391447185559177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744864988346292705.post-69064581591714247422012-07-28T02:09:22.220+03:002012-07-28T02:09:22.220+03:00I was told that plate-smashing was suppressed by t...I was told that plate-smashing was suppressed by the Colonels because it got people too excited.DEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017391447185559177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744864988346292705.post-18241170062267931692012-07-27T20:19:53.065+03:002012-07-27T20:19:53.065+03:00Ahhh Lizy - it's not what you know...;0)Ahhh Lizy - it's not what you know...;0)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896832888635376002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744864988346292705.post-26398623256692320162012-07-27T16:10:43.707+03:002012-07-27T16:10:43.707+03:00Who did you have to bribe and/or sleep with to get...Who did you have to bribe and/or sleep with to get that invitation?liz younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289501717229347872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744864988346292705.post-76030221810591190152012-07-27T14:09:19.830+03:002012-07-27T14:09:19.830+03:00Yes ... there's always more going on behind th...Yes ... there's always more going on behind the scenes than meets the eye!Linda Stollnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744864988346292705.post-11105001344938478172012-07-27T14:05:22.582+03:002012-07-27T14:05:22.582+03:00Great and very important lessons!
