LENA INNOCENCE LOST Mid morning on 1 September, 1939. A chilly but beautiful day in Krakow. He approaches the cemetery with the usual bunch of flowers in hand. The same ones he has bought every day for a week now. White long stemmed roses. These were her favourite in life. When he started courting... Sign in to see full entry.

Good evening, gang... Yes, I'm back...already!! The pain has subsided a bit...At least for now. Anyway, I need the distraction of my writing at the moment. I don't feel much like going into details tonight, but the day ended badly for me. I'm going to leaf through my crochet books in just a bit. I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

Good afternoon, gang... I just wanted to come by and let you all know that I may not be able to be here for a few days. Possibly a couple of weeks... Yes, it's that bad. I thought the burning would have gone away by now, but it hasn't. Tomorrow morning I have to call John's office straight off. I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

My appointment with John may come sooner than I'd like. Much as I despise the thought, I think I'm going to have to let him put me on pain medication. You see, my little "Gestapo" have not only smashed through Normandy and Paris, they have also set them ablaze... The fire started at 6:30 this... Sign in to see full entry.

Once again, I must dedicate the following post (Albeit a short one) to my good mate RobDon67....I beg his forgiveness once more!!!! It seems he happened upon my post of LENA'S epilogue last night...And again, I have made him cry... I'm glad you enjoyed reading the story, mate...But I just can't... Sign in to see full entry.

Here is the epilogue for LENA again... LENA LOST 21 April, 1945-Moskow, Russia It’s raining again today. Lena covers her head with her thin silk scarf and stares through the mist at the large group of apartment houses across the street. She’s looking for the woman who lives at number forty three....

I pray someone here will understand what I'm talking about here. Though I'm quite certain you'll all think I've gone completely mad. When you're working on a story, have you ever "heard" one or more of your characters speaking to you? You know, I mean have you ever literally heard their "voices?"... Sign in to see full entry.

I just read Mia Ella's post in which she expressed her deep sadness and anger on this the second anniversary of her brother's death. My Great-Grandpa died eleven years ago this new year's day, as most of you know by now. I was thinking of him just a few minutes ago and broke down crying. Some out of... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I did start the third draft of my assignment this morning, but I'm afraid it didn't go very well. I may scrap it altogether and start over again tomorrow morning. Compared to the first two drafts, it reads a bit flatly, frankly. I'm a bit disappointed in myself to tell the truth. Still, I did... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang, I hope you're all having a great Monday so far. Mine is going pretty well. I've just started the third draft of my assignment. Depending on how it looks to me, I'll post it here for you all to read. Afzal and Bel...Thank you both for your encouraging comments. Lol Bel...No, Jane is my... Sign in to see full entry.

I can't believe I'm about to say this...I'm glad it's Monday. Yes, those words actually just passed from the lips of this lovelyladymonk. The reason I'm so grateful for it being Monday is that it's time at last to get back to work on my assignment for Jane. I'm really enjoying the work, which is... Sign in to see full entry.

Goodnight gang, I'm exhausted, so I'm off to bed now. See you all tomorrow. Sign in to see full entry.

Earlier this morning, I read a reply to a comment I'd left for our beloved RobDon67 the day before yesterday in which I'd asked him what the heck vegemite is... He responded by informing me that he had tears rolling down his face...I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT VEGEMITE IS???? Well, no mate, I don't...I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning, gang... Wow, I can't believe it's almost February already!! Ah well...At least winter won't last so much longer now. It's Sunday morning and I'm sitting here pondering. My knees are feeling slightly better this morning, thank God. I won't be going outside today, however. It's BLOODY... Sign in to see full entry.

The Nazis are at it again... Why do they delight in torturing me so? I've just had another flare up in my back and my knees have been killing me just about all day. When will it stop? Sign in to see full entry.

Sorry guys, I know my posts today haven't been the most lighthearted or entertaining. I'll do better on Monday, I promise... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm really distracted right now. I'm hoping this doesn't last long, because I'm already getting fed up with myself. At least I managed to practise a bit of crochet today. That has to count for something, right? My knees are throbing away, so it is cooooold outside!!!! They are in the midst of... Sign in to see full entry.

OMG... I've actually forgotten what day it is!!!! It's Saturday, which means that I'd nearly forgotten my own rule...No school work on Saturdays or Sundays. The only exception to this rule is if I'm behind on an assignment, which I'm not at the moment. So, the third draft of my assignment will wait... Sign in to see full entry.

I was hoping writing the letter would make me feel better. It did, in a sense...But right now I feel so hollow inside. I know...That makes absolutely no sense at all, does it? I just don't feel like doing much of anything today. Maybe working on some arts and craft projects will help. I'm also going... Sign in to see full entry.

Now that I've finally written to Mick at last, I keep having thoughts. I've had these thoughts long before now, and I don't know what to do about anything. I keep thinking that if someone had clued me in, I might have been able to help him. But, since none of our mutual friends thought I needed to... Sign in to see full entry.
