Just a thought..........wha t do you think?

Also that ides about contacting Hallmark is excellent.

Do a blog phoenix and spread the word. We will too!

That's how Jack started, I think!

But I think offering to write specific poems is a brilliant idea! I tried to find someone to write one for DH for our 40th but was unsuccessful. Can you do calligraphy, or so you know someone who does? I would not have had the nerve to read out anything at our party but would have loved to have something to give him to tell him how mu h he means to me! A brilliant idea!!

Thanks ladies.

I did try contacting the Western Morning News, but they said no. I also submitted a piece to The Oldie, but that was rejected too.

We have said before Phoenix that maybe you should consider trying to be paid for writing a column or something. You could start maybe by writing an article in your inimitable style about trying to get back into the workforce. You could embellish it with tales from interviews etc and send it to magazines or newspapers and see how you get on. I for one would be pleased to read any of the things you write.

I am sure that there is money in it. Why not make enquiries as suggested?

That's an enviable talent Phoenix, I'd love to be able to write verse. Perhaps a job with Hallmark?...
