• Also should add: If you can provide this, you will have writer's undying gratitude, and in return she will write you excruciatingly steamy love scene featuring you and man of your choice.

• Dear Writer: Unfortunately, I can't provide you with said location, but am happy to provide you with all the vibes and thoughts for peace and quiet and maybe that Dark Irishman to deliver something. *g* (NT) -- Lil, 17:34:21 01/13/10 Wed
  • Oh, the dark Irishman is delivering quite well this last while. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 17:58:38 01/13/10 Wed

• Need a cook who moonlights as a skullery maid, so you can spend all your time writing? I even come with my own Swiffer. ;-) (NT) -- E, 18:31:44 01/13/10 Wed
  • Oh most definitely, E. We can contemplate the moon over the thatched rooves at night. (NT) -- celtgirl, 19:19:56 01/13/10 Wed
    • Or is it roofs- because that just looks wrong, doesn't it? (NT) -- celtgirl, 19:25:47 01/13/10 Wed
      • It's roofs! I used to teach a group of grade 6 students the conventions of English grammar, but we spent far more time talking about the exceptions to the rules! I wonder if other languages are as fraught with exceptions to the norm? (NT) -- Denise, 09:13:42 01/14/10 Thu
        • They say English is the toughest language to learn if it's not your mother tongue. (NT) -- celtgirl, 11:23:10 01/14/10 Thu
          • It's funny how the rules of language sort of seep into us over the years. I always knew that we simply have too many exceptions in English, but in teaching these things to Tati I find myself just marveling that any of us manage to speak or write properly at all! I have SO MUCH respect and admiration for Isabelle. (NT) -- E, 18:39:59 01/15/10 Fri

• I can come along to provide grocery shopping and stray-dog nurturing services. And, as you know, I'm always happy to sacrifice myself by reading your work anytime you need a second set of eyes. (NT) -- Carla, 19:25:09 01/13/10 Wed
  • Yes, because there will, mostly definitely, be a stray dog or cat or gopher or drunken wretch of a man. (NT) -- celtgirl, 19:34:03 01/13/10 Wed
    • If that ain't the truth! Cindy attracts critters wherever she goes! (NT) -- E, 15:06:25 01/15/10 Fri

• I missed the small cottage with the thatched roof on the shindig. I'm sure I could be very useful about the cottage. I'm very practised with a broom, so tidy from all the numerous furry beasts will be no problem! (NT) -- Denise, 09:16:44 01/14/10 Thu

• Hmm, I'm seeing a pattern here, and am not sure where my quiet corner in this cottage might be. Just as long as you all understand that I take those peat deliveries from the dark Irishman each week. (NT) -- celtgirl, 12:23:19 01/14/10 Thu
  • Can I just rent the cottage next door and then maybe get peat deliveries on opposite days from you? (NT) -- Mahri, 18:15:21 01/14/10 Thu
    • Oh yes, that we could most definitely do. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 18:16:42 01/14/10 Thu
    • I think we need to build a compound of wee thatched-roof cottages somewhere on the coast of Northern Ireland, not too far from Belfast -- I'm a city girl at heart -- hire a very handsome dark-haired, dark-eyed man of great stamina to deliver peat to our doors on specific days of the week and take turns cooking for each other and generally pampering Cindy so she can write. (NT) -- Carla, 20:08:45 01/14/10 Thu
      • Oh, that sounds awfully nice to me. If these people around here would just stop looking to be fed and to have clean clothes at all times, it might not be so bad....:) (NT) -- celtgirl, 20:37:58 01/14/10 Thu
        • Inconsiderate, selfish creatures! Don't they know WE'RE waiting to read the next book? (NT) -- Carla, 05:43:35 01/15/10 Fri
          • I keep telling them, but I think they aren't really hearing me, y'know? :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 08:11:46 01/15/10 Fri

• NALANA I notice that 'The Help' isn't in paperback yet. Can we wait on that discussion? (NT) -- Denise, 08:52:51 01/15/10 Fri
  • How did I manage to put this post on this board - sorry - should be on the BDB! Gee, where's my head! (NT) -- Denise, 10:39:11 01/15/10 Fri
