FANKOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! ........... :O)

Someone congratulated me in a BM on being featured and I had no idea what they were talking about!
“I am not good enough to be featured!” so I thought – But apparently I am !! :O) [who’d have thunk it!]
..... So I pushed [for the first time] the “Work featured in a group” button and – WOW!!
I have been featured as a member in one group and my words have been honoured in others!
I usually don’t like drawing attention to myself – I figure with my red hair and what everyone acclaims as my talent I don’t need to add to it! Plus I have a MAJOR issue with intruding! So accolades etc … thank you but you really don’t have to!

BUT I thought this is a great chance to support some awesome groups run by tireless bubblers who’s efforts often go un-thanked! I mean do we really read all those generic Bmails about “featured” or “vote” or “the winners are …” etc? [I do – just in case theres a joke in there or an anecdote or a saying or something! :O)] But they all sound so desperate! – I mean let’s face it the information is best imparted in generic group bmails but like the saying – you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink – reading these GBMs is our choice so don’t be desperate about it! [Personally I like the idea – “You can ride a horse to water but just try to stop it rolling in it!” lol :O)]

But I digress [sorry I do that lol :O)]
So to the awesome groups who have featured me & my words FANKOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Then after my time off line

And finally this week
Art & Stories Made for Children & ALSO
Collaboral Damage have each featured my poem Like the Moon [inspired by the gorgeous art of HollyK Thank you ♥]
Also
Light & darkness has honoured me as a featured member

I belong to loads of groups and I try to adhere to all their rules & not post the wrong stuff in the wrong group [& if I do I’m sorry mediators – & I don’t take offense at you not accepting it! ok :O)]

But when the bubble is stagnant or I feel creative but without focus I drop in on the home pages of my groups and sure enough am inspired by the work of others. Sometimes to write a journal of [hopefully] inspiration, but mostly a piece of art will draw forth from me poetry prose or a story – usually without any prior thought / warning to me! lol :O)

I am happy to say [apart from the Warrnambool Wreck tale] all the work featured has been inspired by the work of another – redbubble artists bring out the best in me! :O)
I am to entertain & help others … I hope I achieve it :O)

Thank you all the mediators of these groups and all you fantastic bubblers who watch me & read my words!

Keep Happy! :O) ................... [cos it annoys the bastards! lol]

CHOOKAS!!! X♥X
