Ok I'm going to start this off with Writing stuff....
There are many good sites around the net that give you the chance to share your writing, and showcase your skills.
I'm certainly not going to list them all, But lets start off with two that I have had some experience with.
Both are brimming with new talented writers, who are doing what they do well!
Take a look at these writers. They reside in Booksie, and in the deep recesses of Writerscafe.org
1 Calypso Firebutton (www.writerscafe.org)
2 Drifting Peace (www.booksie.com/Drifting_Peace)
3 Lori Carlson (www.writerscafe.org)
4 Darksabre (www.booksie.com/darksabre & www.writerscafe.org/darksabre)
5 YOU..... Find a site, Or get on one of these two.... OR BE GREEDY..... Get on BOTH, and widen your audience & horizons. You may be pleasantly surprised by the results!
There are many, many more.... Depending on your particular tastes, But I URGE you to take a read of the work, and review them too! THE SITES ARE FREE, SO ALL YOU NEED DO IS REGISTER FOR FULL USER OPTIONS.
The good thing is that even if you don't write - but are an avid reader, you can STILL join the sites and leave critiques &
comments. The writers love to recieve them - good or bad....
Ok, A note for this page and others... Please feel free to email me with YOUR work if you would like it featured on the Writers page. We'll read it; and post it, if it fits what we are looking for on NOWfor.
Please remember.... This site is under construction RIGHT NOW... So things may happen slowly. But they will happen! In other words.... It is being updated all the time with new things.

The photo that should have been!
The Roots of Time....
I may be strange, but this sort of thing - The narly old root system of a similarly narly old tree, speaks Volumes to me.
Why?!?
Well, without stating the obvious....
Forget (maybe) that this tree may probably be 50yrs old +, Forget that it has survived FREEZING winters, and 45+ D. c summers; Possibly even that it is happily growing on a quite popular beach about 10km away from where I currently sit....
Then concentrate your imagination on cleaning up those chaotic roots, Even carving them into the imagery that has formed on your mind...
The shapes could be anything....
Perhaps you see a Fish in there somewhere??....
Maybe a particular bird...
Possibly even a reclining lady, taking in the sun....
This would be the answer to the question WHY?!?
This photograph, Taken by Nicky Wilmot in Finland was my favorite in a recent National Geographic competition. I'm going to be cruel here....
If you want to know the results, then you'll just have to visit the site.
If you can't wait.... Well ok,
I'll say only this - It was short-listed - Which is STILL fantastic!
After all, you've got to try! It's the experience that truly counts (IMHO anyway!)
Keep doing what you love!
Keep smilin'

What the heck has happened??.....
Wow, it's been a long 'ol time since I sat here thinking what I should bore (Write) you with.... I've been off of the blog/web page arena for a while, NOWfor has been sitting, gathering dust.... We've already had a parting of the ways.... Dave has 'popped' off, after deciding that he had something better to do.... Berk.... (Sorry Dave) But he's also said he'll do some 'cameo' work for the site once in a while.... Once he has found his fortune in the Diamond business..... Or was it Public toilet cleaning????
What ever.... He's not officially with NOWfor any longer.
'So ok' you might well say... 'What has happened'?

Well, I have been trying to concentrate on my stories in between designing Logos, and the starting of a fish carving.... (Lots going on upstairs in the 'ol brain box)
Oh, and a 'spot' of heavy drinking.... While playing RDR etc.... More
