Friday beckons. I am not an accountant - a strange and rare breed indeed. Yet i like to look at each day, week, month, year and reflect on what has felt good. I will close this week having heard a professional journalist ask who wrote a piece she had read because she found it beautiful and far better than she herself could produce after ten years in the business. I have written since i was eight - i have a box full of stories, poetry, children's books,scripts, scribbles. I have been published but for professional work - a different style. I am shy about it - afraid to share as it comes from somewhere very deep inside. Her words - about something i had written - made my soul soar to the sky and recognise that maybe - just maybe - i am a writer and that my words can touch others. What is the best thing that happened to you this week?

I am nearly an accountant, that strange, rare and wonderful breed so can not empathise with you and writing. I am good at subbing but really have neither the skill nor the patience to make art with words. it is good to hear that you had such wonderful feedback this week, you must feel very proud. What was the best thing this week? Actually lots of good things happened this week, but the best was that I got on a plane and jetted off to the mountains with the girls. So here I am, surrounded by snow having a bit of a break. We haven't stopped laughing - wonderful, just wonderful. Wx

I wasn't going to be able to go to lunch today so my love and a friend showed up with a fast food lunch and we sat in the back room and ate and talked and it was nice.

That must be SO good to be confirmed that you are a good writer. Are you publishing any of your stuff?
The best thing that happened to me this week was that I won over myself in solitaire 11 times in a row- maybe I am slightly bored?
I am ever so envious that you have something so worthwhile to do.

Thanks Alba. No need to be envious - i seem to remember you have written on other talkabouts about having creative talents too! I am trying to finish something that i wrote last year at the moment - which has become something very different from how it began - and i may put that out to some agents.

I really can't say anything good has happened this week but Albe - your reply made me laugh so thanks- a small but good thing. Beating yourself 11 times is impressive!

The best thing that happened to me this week was going out two nights in a row with my friends. It did sort of have a bad thing too (i'm a wee bit tired) but it was nice to just relax a bit before getting back to the mountain of school work. Congrats Roze on the writing :D I always sort of thought of you as a writter, glad to see i want too far off.

Finding the wall and making a couple of friends out there is one of the better things that has happened for me this month, but my best achievment this week has been resolving some monumental issues in our little family, to everyones satisfaction, and being able to feel contented in my home.
The world is a different place when your perspective changes, I feel better now.

Hmm ... the best thing that happened to me this week was also the worst! Weird, I know!! I had a wicked realization ... good in the sense that I realized that "a situation" wasn't all my fault, finally after about two years of blaming myself. The "bad" part ... I cried my eyes out for hours because it brought me back ... :-( But it's all good now, it gives me something specific to work on. I'm excited for that.

Well, the best thing that happened to me this week, a little strange, but I actually managed to say no! A momentous moment for me, and not struggling with the guilt too much! Hurrah, a definate improvement!
And Roze, although I cannot comment on your professional life, I does not surprise me in the least that your writing has been merited, I have found your words, balanced, heartfelt and intelligent, thank you!
