Thanks for the wonderful compliment! It means a lot.

Can't wait to read your Harper Lee recipe!

Hiya! I read your piece on the rumpus about Anais Nin and hot cross buns. Speaking as a fan of Anais Nin-- it had me giggling!

Just opened the door to the novelist group for you, Rebecca - welcome! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. I’ll look forward to chatting with you!

Rebecca, I can't wait to start reading more of these Literary Mash-Up pieces!! I have to find the time, but I assure you—I will do so. Thanks, meanwhile, for reading my work over at Leite's Culinaria (a site you might want to consider yourself). Cheers, Allison

Rebecca--Your recipes are killing me! I must have them. ALL of them!

How do I get to some of your online work?

Thanks Rebecca - It's always nice to hear from fellow writers! Nancy

Thanks a ton, Rebecca. This forum seems great and I look forward to finding out more!

Thanks, Rebecca. Me too you re: comedy!

Thank you for the welcome, Rebecca. I'm looking forward to getting to know this site & getting involved. Glad you liked the blog. I've done more photography than writing lately & want to at least get it back to even ground!

Thanks again-
Ki

Thank you for the welcome and for looking at my work :) Much appreciated. I'm looking forward to becoming an active member although time is short at the moment, what with my graduation exhibition approaching at a gallop.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm really looking forward to getting involved on the site! =]

Thank you Rebecca.
And thanks for 'Anaïs Nin's Hot Cross Buns' - lovely! Funnily enough, I was just re-reading Delta of Venus yesterday, and marvelling again at her writing. I'm off to read your other pieces now. I'm really glad I found you!

By the way, I think you might quite like a chapter I wrote about Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis and Ovidian Indecorous Wit in Shakespeare's Ovid (ed. A.B. Taylor, Cambridge University Press, 2000, UK & US). It's about the way they deflated serious subjects. Eg: 'He with her plenty pressed, she faint with dearth,/Their lips together glued, fall to the earth.' Both writers are outrageous and hilarious.
Thanks again, Rebecca.

All the best
Pauline

Hi Rebecca, Nice to hear from a new voice. As far as any online publications: Yes, I've been fortunate to find a readership with Doorknobs & BodyPaint and Riverbabble. You can find some of my flash fiction and short fiction by going to their most recent issues, as well as, to tseveral past issues of Doorknobs. The editors had a reading in New York a year ago or so. What a trip that was? I also have a Website: www.authorsden.com/joyceadaniels You can read some of my other work there. How about you? Where can I find your work? The Best, Joyce

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks for the welcome. I need to introduce myself to the group, I do have a website, , and I write short story length fiction as well as flash fiction.

Here's the shortest piece I've written yet, it was published in BlinkInk, it had to be 50 words or less:

Inside the salmon building a tiny woman squatted like a crab.Records were out of their jackets, spread on the floor. She stood up, grabbed a record, hurled it at the wall. She bent over, picked up one black shard up in her hand like an exclamation point, a declaration.

Thanks, Rebecca for your welcome note. I've introduced myself on Flash Fiction and looking forward to writing, writing, writing.

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks for the warm welcome! Looking forward to learning more about your work--and all we have in common--here.

Thanks for the lovely welcome, Rebecca. I'm glad you like the competition idea. It's just a little fun and Oscar is always good for a laugh.
