  1. yellowlancer – Heathcote Victoria Australia – I have always loved writing and ten years ago was attending and leading several writing groups. Unfortunately, many of my fellow writers were becoming discouraged at the limited opportunities for publication. So...with the much-appreciated encouragement of my writing friends I began Positive Words magazine. The first issue came out in November 2002 and since then hundreds of writers have been published between the monthly pages. Most have been from Australia but there have also been some very welcome pieces from Great Britain, New Zealand, USA, Luxemburg, Spain & South Africa. Positive Words is a small print run, distributed by mail and available by subscription. Submissions and subscriptions are always welcome but the submissions must be in hard copy. Send to PO Box 798, Heathcote 3523 Victoria or email me at positivewordsmagazine@live.com.au for further information. I write poetry and short stories and am working on a novel. Some of my stories have been published in Woman's Day (Australia), My Weekly (UK), That's Life (Aus), Take 5 (Aus) and various anthologies and journals. I have been fortunate to win a number of prizes including The Martin Simms Medal for Literature(2008), The Mary Grant Bruce Children's Writing Award and the Joseph Furphy Commemorative Literature Prize 2008.

  5. EightLeggedGemini – England – i love writing until i pick up a pen or keyboard, then i hate it. but over the years i've slowly scribbled my thoughts on receipts, bills, anything at hand; just to make these insistent thoughts go away.

  11. maryoconnor12 – Along the Connecticut shoreline – I am a writer, poet, community volunteer, pupil of psychology, writing instructor, guest speaker, artist, lover of nature, curious traveler and author of Life Is Full of Sweet Spots, An Exploration of Joy, as well as Dreams of a Wingless Child, a book of award-winning poetry. An advocate of the power of writing as an agent of change, I enjoy speaking to community groups about the joy of making words sing and conduct creative poetry writing workshops for inmates at the State of Connecticut’s York Correctional Institution. As a writer and a painter, I enjoy living along the Connecticut shore, where I infuse everyday observations of the natural world with the sensitivity and insightfulness that tend to define my experience of life. It is these reflections that have helped me realize that one need not look far to find an element of peace, of celebration, of joy, in this inordinate world of which we are all a part.

  12. heavenhappens – Welcome to my life. You can share my grown up world here at http://heavenhappens.me where I blog my thoughts, my life, my travels, my photographs and my poetry. Growing up just after the war was a grim experience. So, now that I have 7 grandchildren, I am reclaiming my childhood by seeing the world anew through their eyes. Every minute I spend with them is magical. So this blog is for them ~ Ben, Rosie, Tiffany, Stanley, Thea, Mateo, and the youngest, Olivia! I hope, when they are all grown up, they will enjoy reading it and finding out about their grandma’s life, and know how very happy they made her. I hope you enjoy reading my posts, leave a comment or a link and I will get back to you. I’m sorry to say that my darling husband died of Covid on Good Friday 2020. Since then the wind has gone out of my sails and I’ve hardly written a thing. I will try to pick up my life and start writing again one day. But for now please enjoy exploring my life🕊️

  24. LB – I'm a woman who loves spending time on the motorcycle and in, or on, any body of water. I love traveling and reading, baking and cooking, taking way too many pictures, and enjoying my family and friends. Life is an adventure, and I want to remember and express my joy for it! This is a journal for me ... so I'll never forget the good times and to remind me of them on more challenging days.
