Thank you Denise for your comments. It’s always encouraging to hear that someone has found my writing interesting; even better to hear that you thought it was well written too. Thanks you for sharing it with your friends.

I have liked it…Come on, how could I not? It was screaming for the like button to be clicked! And I do love a bit of irony.

I will also shortly be sharing it in my other social networks (I am something of an addict).I will share it because it’s interesting – a personal view of the whole thatcher thing, structured and well argued, and inviting me to think about more than just whether I liked or disliked, or downright loathed someone.

I like the fact that it is not just an hysterical tirade of dehumanising insults and obscenities. I’ve seen quite enough of those, thanks very much.

Thanks Steve. I’d have been disappointed if there’d been no likes.

I cant believe that 3 bloggers have “liked” this. Ironic or what. I loved it. I am glad there is not a “love it ” button because I am with you Justin we need to say it with words.

It’s the interaction I miss too. I thought it was what drove blogs forward. But I’m also with you on the perils of disabling the buttons. What to do?!

hear hear! I used to get all kinds of comments on my blog, now I get lots of likes. I miss the comments, I miss the interaction with my readers. I’ve seriously considered disabling the social buttons, except that would probably kill sharing of the posts. Ah well…sign of the times i guess.

Congrats, that is a great story! I’ll include it in the news for you, for next Tuesday’s NewsFlash on FFDO.

I really like the poem as well, glad you decided to share I think you managed to nicely bring into it all that was asked in your assignment.

Comment on Losing My (Poetry) Virginity by adampb

Great to hear you’re enjoying your course and exploring new ways of writing. This month a few of us have been engaging in #postitnotepoetry, with permission to write really dodgy poetry. It’s very liberating.
I’ve collated mine here: http://afullnessinbrevity.wordpress.com/post-it-note-poetry/
Keep going with the course and I hope it brings great reward.

Comment on The Anatomy of a Short Story…and An Exercise in Exorcising Weak Metaphores. by John Wiswell

The “like whatever” quote is just about immaculate. I remember when I studied authors’ notes in college. Mark Twain is the maestro of sounding effortless, and he dissected his work consistently to achieve it.
