Hi Becky, I lost your note and just refound it. Actually, I've read the first chapter and 1/2 twice a couple of months ago. I have to start over again. It's exciting, but for people not well schooled you can only hang onto the facts for so long :) I have a number of other books along that line. Like this one, they are pretty much for beginners. I learned a lot. I'll let you know when I begin again. Let me know how you do also.

Hi, just got your request, welcome. I like Lost as well,talk at you soon.

I completely understand about not wanting to miss any of "Lost"--I'm addicted too, but I have a DVR so I can zip through the commercials and not lose any momentum. I hope you'll be able to join us after the episode is over.

Welcome to gather, Becky. I hope you find a place for yourself here. I'm still looking for my place, so maybe we will get to know each other.

Please excuse the gawky caps, but I LOVE THAT BOOK CASE HISTORIES BY KATE ATKINSON!!!! IT'S MY LAST BEST FAVORITE READ. There. I had to do that. When I read Case Histories I had already gone about six stories into my Six Degrees Stories [not posted here on Gather] -- which are mainly writing exercises wherein I let a barely mentioned character from one story become the main character for the next story and so on. Around Story 4, I began to think a long series of works might connect back (if you've seen Short Cuts, based on Raymond Carver's Short Stories, you might see what I mean; or, more recently, Crash].

Anyway, I think I'm on Gather to find an audience for my work, one that responds with critical comments and to find interesting writing. To make connections with other writers, help where I can be helpful, and BE helped.

I am prolific -- sometimes. Also, some of the posts I've made are not brand new. Cold was brand new. The responses to challenges and prompts are brand new. Again, I love the exercise of doing. [I think I've turned this into babble and ramble so will just say -- YES, Kate Atkinson -- wonderful book that. And how great was that compliment to me . . . from you . . . I think I just did a little peacock strut in my head over the buzz that sent me -- thanks.]
