    I like the new name, hats off to you Evelyn.

    I found the quote on a website I like to visit. I didn't realise you had it too. It matches a picture in photobucket of a man bashing his head on the computer keyboard. So familiar to everybody that writes, don't you think?

    Thanks :)

    Oh, well, so much for my homage :) :) :)
    (Whaddya mean everything isn't always about me? :)

    I first saw it as a quote from Douglas Adams, which my BF insisted Adams had stolen from Robert Benchley (note: you can always get a rise out of my BF by pretending to confuse Robert Benchley with Peter Benchley :).

    Then when I wanted to put it in my signature, I went to check the wording and discovered that the consensus on the Web is that is was really Gene Fowler who came up with it.

    But that feeling of staring at the page, with no way to get from the concept you want to express to some set of words that will express it, has got to be universal among writers.

    :) Evelyn

    I miss WF.com.

    I was a pretty major player over there and now I'm just a small fry. I miss my 1500+ posts. I hope my account's still there when (if) it comes back.

    It really is a shame if it's gone forever, there was such a wealth of information, story, and character on that website. It's a damn shame.

    Negative. I'm still getting the same message. Have been for a while now. "This account has been suspended.
    Either the domain has been overused, or the reseller ran out of resources."

    Hey folks! Well, I'm a newbie whichever forum I go to, but maybe someone will remember me from all those oh so witty and informed posts I contributed to WF.com...

    I still can't get on WF.com - is there any reason why it's working for some but not for others? I've tried the link from my favourites and just re-typing the address, but keep getting the same old message.
