hey thanks for the follow.  Wow what a life you've had!! sounds like quite a ride.   I read that you've been married twenty yeats... I thought 'Wow'...then I realised that as of yesterday I had been married 18 ...those numbers get up there quickly!! I have two completed stories on here, usually various reflections on relationships, and reconciling the challenges we often have in them.  They are each set in New Zealand...The Understanding..Dunedin, Christmas Heartache...Dunedin, I got so hooked on show casing NZ in summer that I have started a new project 'High Country Christmas" ...set in Queenstown.  If you get time, would appreciate your thoughts on them.  Any Wattpad advice?  I don't know.... but for me I have only been on a year, and have made great friends through being a regular commenter on ch.  It can be as little as 2-3 words! a real encouragement to get constructive thoughts...also for me, I vote if I am hooked enough to read the next ch.  Initially I was much more conservative with votes,  but one author once posted 'this is the only payment we require, if you think a ch is deserving.'   Hope you enjoy your time on here, congrats on the published books, you've 'done good.'  hehe talk soon.

Wow, what a great reply - thanks. I'm off to a speaking engagement in 30 mins but I promise I'll read your work when I get back. It's my first gig in an old folks home! (gulps)
            
            Thx again and see you around.

Hi Abi, thanks for your note. I'm new to Wattpad (I even lost my message board). What do I need to do to get the most out of the site? Cheers S
