Today another writer for my e-zine Storytime Tapestry has died. Bill Walker was one of my most beloved writers. He made friends from all over the world through my e-zine. He was really a storyteller. I recruited him because he had a down home quality about his writing. He didn't spell very well and his grammar wasn't good but he was well loved.
I have been writing my e-zine for writers who just want to spread their stories and poems with others for 9 years now. I have lost several beloved people through the years. It never gets any easier.
Any thoughts?

That is sad that your friend is gone now. But he is resting nice now I am thinking. Sounds neat to make friends all over the world. Sort of sounds like Mylot. I feel like I have done the same thing here. I think any time you stay with a site long enough there is going to be losses. Sad, but such is life.

winterose I have hear of Storytime Tapestry. my thoughts are is there any possibility I could write things for your e-zine? I
love to write mostly fiction but love to write poetry too.Ican
believe you grow fond of the people who write for your magazine.i have never been published except for some haiku I had taken by a poetry magazine for copy of the magazine.I still write but to expensive to send out stuff anymore.

Its a blessing to have had loved ones i our lives, sorry about your lost,but through love for them you can carry on. They would want you to keep doing what you do. I love many loved ones and it makes me feel good that I had love for someone who is no longer here and they may can see me and be happy when I am going right. We do not always get it right the first time, but as we strive to live righteous and holy lives and put GOD 1st, we will not grow weary when the storms of life comes

Always hard to lose a friend. My condolences to you. May he rest in peace. I tried to go to your link from your profile but for some reason it doesn't bring me anywhere. I'm kind of curious about his stuff and your e-zine.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, may he rest in peace. Not to be rude but on the other note, I'm not familiar with the term "e-zine". You mentioned you have your own, mind if you could put up the link so I can take a peek?

go to my profile and you can link to Storytime Tapestry. e-zine means electronic magazine meaning it is on the net but not in print.
