tHiNg in a Nutshell

Cead Mile Failte!

A Hundred Thousand Welcomes! (Irish)

Warning:

If you don't have a sense of humor you probably won't get me or vice versa.

As writers, you and I have the opportunity to do and be anything we want to be. We are only limited by the scope of our imaginations, and of course by the rules of the site.

My user name is 4Provinces and my handle changes at will to tHinG, HOOVES of Fire and COWser Soze.

This is me as tHiNg:



Sometimes, in addition to being tHiNg, I am the suave Hooves of Fire, a Writing Bull.

This is me as HOOVES of Fire:



To make things more confusing, I have another writing persona that used to be an alternate handle for HOOVES. This is another not so usual suspect of the bovine kind, known as COWser Soze.

This is me as COWser Soze:



I am primarily a reader these days.

DISCLAIMER, et al

As for poetry, and everything else written, I am no expert. There are many fine poets and writers here. What I like in a poem is a phrase or series of phrases that is original (in my experience anyway) and something I can relate to. It is only an opinion, but it is my opinion! Chuck it out if you do not like it!

END OF DISCLAIMER

As to my writing -

I started writing fan fiction in 2000 and had a blast doing that. My work was popular among those who followed the movie that I wrote about. We all encouraged and nurtured each other back then.

I have written a lot of stuff here. Some of it is still here and some of it is not.

I have written a complete original novel here in this nice folder -----> "Sara's Port"  !

I also have written a variety of short stories in various genres. ----> "Tales & Tails to Tell" .

In addition, I write poetry, some of which is contained in this folder --------->"Poetry Be Me Like Toys R Us" 

I also have hosted several group campfires, including

ID: 722499   (Rated: 18+) A Poem A Week Campfire I  Extinguished After 4 Great Years and 121 entries of Writing Poetry! by HOOVES

As for received reviews, I have learned over the years to appreciate any and all (yes even the stinky poo doo doo ca ca ick icks) reviews because they represent views.

However, sometimes, I can be grouchy if my hand is slapped or my tail is pulled. Sometimes, if I am in a mood, I may even scold you. I shouldn't do that and I know it and am ashamed shortly afterward... Ashamed isn't the same as sorry though.

This is my freshened policy on giving reviews: "Fresh Remooing Rules of Procedure" 

Do not even try to draw me into internet drama because there is a Block/Ignore feature here and I will block and ignore you quicker than I can snap my fingers or stamp my Hooves!

Know what?

My bassett hound still wags her tail at me when she sees me, even if you do not.

All I ask of you in general, is that you treat others the way you yourself would want to be treated and I will try my best to do the same for you.

Pay it forward here and more importantly in your real life, whenever you can!

Without this site, I would not have met some of my dearest and most cherished friends.

My aforementioned pup helps me a lot when it comes to putting all things into perspective..



This is the look below that she gives me when I try to get her to do something (like look at the camera) that she'd rather not do.



Or maybe she just ate a bug.

So there. Maybe, after all it isn't all about ME. It's about HER.

I am one lucky tHiNg.

Learn to embrace the experiences of all sorts and write about it!

Adopt a new persona with your handle using the awesome costumicons!

Traveling to Ireland, photographing it and writing about it literally saved my life. If you are fortunate, writing about your adventures will lead you to the light as well.
