Hi Gualetaga, No the Welsh dragon goes back further than the Pendragon legends. That is only a mythical legend where as the origins of the dragon stem from...
Hi Michael, I understand what your talking about. I think it's good that you don't get concerned about any non-sensical stuff on first draft. It's always wise...
Hi Gareth, Thanks for the suggestion. I am sure there are many stories around on the discovery of the New World. I will check this character out. Joanna ... ...
Oh, I certainly agree about hooking your reader from the very beginning, too. Sometimes (and as is in my case) the point where the story really begins isn't...
Dear Michael, Are you familiar with the movies of William Castle? His technique was to lull you along with a false sense of security, and then when you least...
I've seen some William Castle movies, but I don't recall which ones. And I love the original THE THING, one of my favorite sci-fi/horror movies. It used to...

Gualetaga, I agree. The older horroR myself. I think the newer ones use graphic scenes instead of good ole suspension. Joanna ... be ... like ... and ... ...
I have to agree with you too Michael. I like Carpenter as well but prefer the original. Joanna ... a ... this ... and ... tape ... technique ... when ... any ...
Dear Michael, A couple of William Castle movies that come to mind are: "The Tingler" (great Vincent Price) and "House on Haunted Hill" (also VP). There's...
Dear Michael, The name of that movie I was trying to remember earlier was "Guillotine." Actually, it was quite funny in some spots. Like when the new...
Dear Gareth, Well, the good news is I finally found out how to get the supersized picture to print. The bad news is it's still a mystery how to put it on...
Hi Gareth, I've just listened to your Welsh music you uploaded to Files and it sounds to me very interesting. I think it's great traditional music. Anyway,...
Joanna and Rony, thanks! I'm glad you like it! We had a really great time!:) Warmly, Kira ... good. ... it's ... Do ... show ... people ... be ... I'd ... ...
Dear Gareth, I finally got to hear "Salamanders" and found it very cute. If the salamanders are the little lizards we have around here, they're adoreable...
Gualetaga and Michael, William Castle did the Tingler???!!! That movie still scare the bejebers out of me! I first saw it when I was five and my dad took the...
William Castle was even IN the movie! In the opening. But I love that part where it gets loose in the theater, and Vincent Price says: "The Tingler is loose...
It has occured to me that some may need an explanation for my last post, re: the Tingler. The Tingler is what is supposed to be the "Shiver down your spine"...
Hi Gualetaga, Well that's a bit of good news at least, that you are making some progress. :) Just keep experimenting and eventually you'll get the results...
Hi Kira, How are you doing? Yeah, it's just elements of traditional Celtic music thrown in with a bit of Welsh flavouring. It's all I have in my possession at...
Hi Gualetaga, Thanks for giving it a listen and I'm pleased you enjoyed it. :) Actually, the "salamanders" are in fact newts. You're in Florida, right? Steve...
Hi, Gareth, Although I could be wrong [big yuck - : D] I suspect newts and salamanders are another UK term, like fortnight. They're such prevelant little...
Hi Gualetaga, How are you doing? :) I don't know if 'salamanders' and 'newts' are British terminology, but those were Steve Vai's own words (the clue's in the...
"Everyone in the apartment complex knew who "Ugly" was. Ugly was the resident tomcat that loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and,...
You're right, of course. For some reason, I always think of Steve as British! : D Oh, well, whatever. I love the music (and our little reptiles, whatever...
What a wonderful, but so sad, story. I've seen it somewhere, I know. I AM that cat, in many ways--always wanting and missing (or losing) love; physical and...
how are you doing in these days? Hope everything's allright with your band! I had my first lesson of FCE preparation on Saturday and there will be next one...
Hi Gualetaga, How are you doing? :) I thought I would post the story because I thought it was a good example of how to conduct one's self. Regardless of other...
Hi Kira, How's it going? It's great to hear from you. :) Sounds like your FCE lessons are going well and that your having fun doing them. That is always a...
