Toraspanda

Welsh origin, living in Switzerland since 1968. I taught English (mainly pre-university level language and literature) at a local Lycée-Collège until 1997, when I took early retirement in order to enjoy my triple first loves: books, cats and music! I breed and show pedigree cats, Scottish Folds and British Shorthairs. Tora (Toranaga) is my...more »

    Hello again pand, sorry to take your writing time away, just for a couple seconds. Is there a specific genre, storyline etc.? Does it change each time? What is yours about? i am in touch with a writer who writes fantasy and it is interesting to talk with asuthors and see how they do things. i have novels on the go b ut without my own computer now, i do n ot find the time and just write the short pieces for this online group, I may have n=mentioned, like a round robin. i like it but not as involving as a full novel. ine are in the fantasy genre too but many of my short stories are just about ordinary things, sometimes with slightly extraordinary twists.

    Is this a magazine Panda? I did not recognize the letters, probably a cat mag.? Correct me if I am wrong. i know about deadlines but not for print commericailly, but have had many deadlines and sometimes it is hard. 50,000 is a lot to write in a given space of time, about anything. Best of luck. i still write a little for my online group but the time line i n ot so pressing, good because my sight is even wors and the optician yesterday xould give me no larher glasses for the computer and only slightly better for my main glass so, I am not chan ging this time and most of the emails are smaller than i would like, print-wise. Keep in touch when you can and I will when I can
    Yours Evelyn S

    HI Pandaa, thanks for the info. I will try to look up the American Asooc. when I get time on the computer. That sounds strange, having the ears curl backwards but cats are cute whaterer, even when they puke at 5 a.m. as one of ours did this morning. Have a good day, Evelyn S

    HI tORASPANDA, read your review on The Cleft, I might get that from the Library./ Have you read another book in a similar vein coupled with a story about men only ccalled Wlak to the End of The World, the female part is called Motherlines. Sorry the author's name escapes me at the moment. There is a series of four books, I think at least two of them is the female side of the coin. Evelyn S.
