Breathing in deeply, ready to take the plunge

Nervously putting fingers to keypad and requesting admission. Hoping that this place will dispel memories of school girl failures at all tasks involving paper and words.

Yay!

[cariad]

Yay!

Grrrrrrrr - and yes - you know you are at least in part to blame for this! Just make sure you are around when I need help with my homework.

Lol, cariad...sounds like you're as comfortable with writing as I am. But it's fun...really...and you get to read what all the others have posted.

Looking forward to your first assignment.

Okay, I was nervous, now I am just paranoid.

[Qmoq]

Aw babe, don't be paranoid, it's not like everyone likes you so much that they all want to see what you come up with. Oh. Hang on. That's exactly what it's like.

But! In your Slothlands posts so far, you've been adorable and poetic and erotic. You can do this. Trust me.

[cariad]

Right, that is it Q - not only am I paranoid, but I now need your hat to hide under.

But thank you for your encouragment. You may not realise it my palms really are sweating. Give me a good beating any day rather than this.

Lol, I still get the same feeling whenever I'm posting...but all the feedback has been wonderful and encouraging. It gets easier, hon, believe me. And from what I've read in your posts you really don't have any reason to hide...hell, your writings are incredible!

[cariad]

A serious thanks for your encouragement Silke - good to know I am not alone in these feelings, and looking forward to the easier bit.

cariad,

Can you feel the love and admiration we hold for you?

Can you also sense that we're expecting "Big things" from you--right out of the gate?

hehehehehehehe

But seriously, it's fun and exciting. I'm so glad that you decided to take the leap and join in!

The Knothead - an honest answer - I feel bowled over by the love I have received in this place. Before I came here I thought i had grasped 1:1 online relationships, but a caring virtual community such as this is still making my head spin.

Big things? Perhaps I should try and drag CC into this - he knows lots of big words. Oh and just so you know, you sending me your first assignment from behind the closed doors which I now face was one of the things which prompted me to think about this.

Polishing an apple before handing it and a bar of chocolate over to SB.

Looking forward to receiving my first assignment.

And I have no doubt that in no time I will be welcoming you into level two. I echo the thoughts of everyone here, I am sure you will do great. Just have fun.

Smiles - to anyone reading this from the outside of writers' block - come on in, the coffee is on, the icecream is cold and the atmosphere is warm.
