The American site for writers of all persuasions known as WriterBeat has finally succumbed.
Thanks Autumn Cote for the invite and all the years of fun.
Thank you to all the friends I made and all the people I met. I am sorry to see it go!
Hello to the refugees from WriterBeat that have popped up on my Blog. You are most welcome.
Here’s hoping that Stone and Owl will get something together pretty soon.
Long live WriterBeat!!
Opher,
Well, at least I know where to find you. I will miss WriterBeat, and like you, I hope Owl and Stone reconnect us soon.
Me too Katharine. I’m glad you dropped by. I don’t know if Owl and Stone will get it together. It certainly was an interesting place and I met a range of people I would not normally have encountered. I guess we all live within our little bubbles that we think of as normal.
All the best to you Katharine. I hope your writing bears fruit. Do drop by from time to time it’s always a pleasure.
Hi, Opher. It’s Jeff. I abandoned it when I got doxxed but I am sad to see it go.
Hi Jeffrey – welcome! Yes I feel the same. It was pretty unique, if a bit frustrating at times.
Never thought I would miss you liberal rascals…lol
Right on Leroy!! Good to hear from you – I’ve missed you too!
Opher, good to hear from you, and yes, i also miss WB alot.
Hi Mustafa – good of you to drop by! It is sad that WB bit the dust. I enjoyed it. It was quite unique and an interesting and varied bunch of people!
All the best to you!
Thanks Opher, its good to see the names Opher,
Katharine, Jeffrey, and Leroy.. Leroy must be really desperate if he is missing liberals, lol.
Its good to be back in touch. Looking foward to something from Stone Eater and Owl.
Yes it’s good to hear from the old crew. Leroy must be craving some common sense!
The site Owl set up is not the same at all.
Mustafa, everywhere else is just an echo chamber.
Hi Leroy, It would be great to have WB up and running again wouldn’t it?
Sure would! Not much fun mixing it up with people who agree with you.
Ha ha – you are right. I even miss the abuse!!
“Sure would! Not much fun mixing it up with people who agree with you.”
Exactly, we are in perfect sync. Good to hear from you Leroy.
Good to hear from you Mustafa! What a shame WB went down!
I missed this comment area, ooops. And seems a couple of old (figuratively) WBers stopped by here. So WB closed a week after I left. Shut down day we flew out to Italy. Connectivity was terrible where we were, and couldn’t even use Skype, so didn’t blink when I couldn’t load WB, but by then it was gone anyway. Cheers anyway, folks!
Hi Jeff – yes quite a number of old WBers pop on here from time to time. It’s always nice to hear from all of then (apart from Ryan).
I bet Italy was great. I love the place. What part were you staying in?
Ah, good. No Ryan. LOL We were about 20k S. of Sienna, but prior to the farm we traveled all over Italy breaking in the new Alfa. The touring around, though interesting, was tiring. The farm was sublime. Good being in touch, opher.
That sounds wonderful. I’d love to spend time in Italy.
So what’s this Alfa like?
Yes, it is good being in touch!
The Alpha is wonderful, though got three tickets for speeding driving across US. LOL. Being bright red is a flag for the cops. Hope you and yours are well, opher. Damn the Tories, eh? In touch with Stone, and was briefly in touch with Ric Wells.
I got done once crossing the States but I wasn’t in an Alpha!
We’re all good, just getting over a cold.
Yeah right – damn the Tories! I must email Stone. Quite a few of the old crowd drop in from time to time. Always nice to hear!
Hola Jeff, just the thought of you riding around in a red alpha makes me smile.
Life’s been good to me too.
Hi Mustafa!
Hello Opher, how are things with you? Have you guys figured out if you are in the EU or not? We think NATO is obsolete and the other members should pay their fare share! Lol, what a clownshow our two countries are.
Hi Mustafa – great to hear from you!
As for the EU – well things will become clearer in a couple of week’s time! Once the dust has settled from the election. Hopefully the country will come to their senses and vote the bloated Eton Toff out. Who knows you might impeach Trump and we might dump Johnson. That would be a great day! The right-wing, nationalist extremist populists are on the wane! Just a matter of time! Compassion, love and fairness will always win through.
NATO is going to be alright! We so need the UN, NATO and the EU to maintain stability and peace!
