A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME...
(1 + 6) X 6 + 0 - 3 + 3 = 42
Infinity has returned! It is fantastic to be back and the memories of the fun I've had here are flooding back. Unfortunately I won't be here on a regular basis and that makes me quite sad, but I will enjoy finding messages from friends and newbies so start writing!
I live in Johannesburg, South Africa and am the mother of Eternity and Agent002.
I am the Muse of Frogs and Keeper of fairy circles, dreams and mischievious elves.
The Land of Peace formerly known as the Land of Nowhere where you can have a drink in the lounge, wander around the garden, sit by the stream and watch the frogs play or visit the Treehouse built by Inkwash. You are welcome to add your own touches to the garden, plant flowers or trees, add water features or pitch a tent! stinkywigfiddle has built a research facility above the Land. This research facility is awesome and must be seen to be believed.
Here is a page you've just gotta see! Javam Really cool and you can commission a work of art to brighten up your page. What do you think of the one Javam did for me? Very frog friendly isn't it.Thanks Javam.
I would like to share the following with all the aspiring writers out there.
Now he was a great writer,
a readers delighter,
but he never went to great pains,
because right from the start,
he wrote from the heart,
and forgot about using his brains.
Well his old Royal would clatter,
with his subject matter,
as he hammered away at the keys
it was likely as not
he'd forgotten the plot,
but writing for him was a breeze.
He knew how to spell,
but not very well,
so most of his words were amiss,
so to show his repentance,
he'd leave out a sentence,
and that's how he made up for this.
The start of one story,
was one of great glory,
a tale of the great Civil War,
but the end of this book,
had a much different look,
'twas a manual for hanging a door.
Well they sent back his writing,
and at this time citing,
that his work was unmatched,
but he got the hint,
with a powerful dint,
seeing a new book of matches attached.
He was not one for crying,
so he kept right on trying,
with hopes for a future much brighter,
but he ain't got the sense,
the lord gave a mud fence,
so you can see he's a qualified writer.
And so day after day,
he hammers away,
always forgetting the latest rejection,
with a different theme,
and the ongoing dream,
that the next one will be pure perfection.
So follow his lead,
and try to succeed,
don't succumb to frustration and panic,
though you might wisely agree,
to have a "plan B",
and take a course as an aircraft mechanic.
But if people should smirk,
demanding proof of your work,
you surely don't have to take it,
just take it in stride,
with an air of great pride,
like I'm doing right now and just fake it.

The return & the news Nov 22, 2002
I am back after about 15 months! It is good to be here!
The most important news is that on 14 January 2002, Eternity made me a granny! She had a beautiful baby boy and named him Daniel Ainsley.

Thank you Moderators! Jun 8, 2001
On Wednesday I received a wonderful gift from Oregon in the USA.
The story starts a while back when I accidently came across a website featuring the late Skinny Rowland's poetry. This accident resulted in the poem I put on my page. The moderators were unhappy and so I made contact with Lorraine Eckhardt, Skinny's sister, to ask permission to use the poem. Lorraine gave me permission to use any poem I wished and visited h2g2, happy to see my chosen poem on my page. After corresponding a couple more times she offered to send me a copy of Skinny's book of poems. It arrived on Wednesday.
Thank you Moderators! If it weren't for you I may never have contacted Lorraine and thus would never have received this book which I will treasure forever.
