Myna's Musings:
This week I have been thinking a lot about how amazing the Pub is and one of the things that make it such a special place is that we are an international community.
You have heard the saying "To the ends of the earth" well there is no such place. Our planet, being a sphere, has no beginning and no end.
We are all a part of this amazing life here on earth and each of us has a reason and purpose for existing. I see the Pub as a miniature picture of our earth, no beginning and no end. Each and every one of us brings a completely individual and unique perspective to this cyber family. It is beautiful and enchanting.
PROMPT:
For this week's prompt I would like to challenge you to write about what you bring to the Pub. What is unique about you? What do you have to offer the Pub and the world, that one else can?
DOWN AT THE SALOON:
The storytellers-saloon announced the winners of GOLD RUSH WEEK and they had a tie, Congradulations to AmbergrisJane and FaceMcShootyX. They will both now be writing for the Busted Gulch series.
Busted Gulch Vol. 3
http://my.w.tt/UiNb/qKQ1BoI3py
The lovely Rue along with her Busted Gulch group are working on a new Volume that will be a guide to the Busted Gulch series, it will include all the main characters and who writes them, their character backgrounds as well as reference materials on the town itself. You can check it out here:

Well that wraps up another week here at the Pub. I hope you all are as excited about the future of the Pub as we are. I hope you all have a safe and relaxing weekend!!
As always stick around as long as you like, introduce yourself to someone new or catch up with an old friend. The drinks are always on the house!!
Cheers from your Mystres Of Chatter
