    New, sorta.

    Hello,

    The forum as changed a bit since I was last around. I'm trying to get back into writing and I thought of this place. Good to see Edgewise is still kicking. Too bad some other faces aren't still around. <3 voodoo, apple. Anyway, name's Amanda. Doubt many will remember me, but I'm back again. I've been reading some good stuff, hope to inject myself with some inspiration. Keep writing folks - good, bad, ugly - it's all about progression.

    Hello Amanda - welcome back in our midst. Sad that some of the names you knew have disappeared, but I hope you are glad that there are some interesting - I hope - new ones, too. The Courtjester

    Hello, Amanda. Welcome (back) to the forums. Hope there's something of use to you here, something that'll help develop your writing. There are plenty of good people on the site who'll be happy sharing reciprocal feedback.
    The sand of the desert is sodden red, -
    Red with the wreck of a square that broke; -
    The Gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,
    And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
    The river of death has brimmed his banks,
    And England's far, and Honour a name,
    But the voice of schoolboy rallies the ranks,
    "Play up! play up! and play the game!"

    Hi Amanda. Welcome back.
    “The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.” ~ James Allen
