LMBFAO!!!! and back atcha!!
I love these clubs too, Donna. They enable us to meet people from all over and exchange ideas and thoughts. I love finding more treasures in a book because my friends here point them out.

So true, Liisa. We have met brand new authors, and have then been able to follow them as they write again, and we have been able to step out of our comfort zones to explore new genres. Paul and the B&N crew do a great job keeping us thinking.

One of the best things about FL is that we (I) get experience different genres that we may not normally choose.
Excellent, Liisa! If you want a writing buddy, feel free to add me - DSafford. I am up to a little over 3,500 right now and actually like the story. Who would have thought? <grin> Good luck!

My name is Donna, and I have participated in the FL club since the beginning, finding many great authors to follow and read anew. My husband and I both participate, making for some wonderful evenings of reading and discussion. We live in Western MA with our dog, Oscar. The kids are grown and live nearby, so we get to visit often. Right now I am participating in the YA discussion of "Vixen" by Jillian Larkin, and have started NaNoWriMo for the first time. I can't wait to greet old friends and welcome new ones! Onward and forward.
Donna- I have started NaNoWriMo for the first time too! I ended up last night free-writing about the difficulties of writing! I am going to have to step it up to make the 50,000 goal!

haha i use to be addicted to farmville as well...but you live on a farm so you get the best of both worlds
I live on a farm, but we haven't farmed since my step-grandpa died when I was a baby, unless you count a few cows and my sister's horse. We lease the land to a bulb company - - really the best of both worlds. I do have a lot of lawn mowing, it takes about 6 - 8 hours a week, on a riding lawn mower.
Other crafts I do or have done in the recent past; crocheting, knitting, stained glass, beaded ornaments, sewing, scrapbooking/card making, If you can think of it, I've probably tried it at one time or another.
Today it was 60 degrees at noon, sunny and just beautiful, but I just took the dogs out and it's cold cold cold.
