Stuck On You

What a wonderfully uplifting story, Jenny, and told beautifully;-)

Tina

Hi Jen, I had to read this three times, not because I wasn't taking it in, but because I chose to - I was amazed at the depth of your piece, your insight and sensitivity, and also (hope I'm not going OTT) your cleverness at story writing, you even work in a twist in this microcosm of a tale. I don't know what else I'm going to find to say about your work in future, I'm running out of superlatives, but I'm sure you'll continue to inspire me to find something new. Very well done!

Thankyou for reading Tina,

this is a piece of writing about George and Lori
Schappell, who are the oldest conjoined twins in
the world. They are celebrating their 50th birthday in London.

I admired them so much for their determination,
being joined at the head and the fact that Lori
is 5ft 1" and George is 4ft 4".

It certainly moved me enough to write this piece.

I'm very grateful for your nice comment.

Thankyou.

Jenny.

Hi sue,

you have been really kind, you really lift my spirits, it means a lot to me, because I'm not
really a writer as such, but I just write what
comes into my head, from things I see or remember,
or music that inspires me.

This piece I wrote, from reading in Tuesday's Sun
paper, about these special 50 year old twins, who
manage to live two seperate lives and yet be joined.

The other amazing thing was, that Lori was going to
get married, but her partner got killed by a drunk
driver, I don't know how they do it, but I think it
puts life in perspective, when I read things like
this.

Anyway again, thankyou so much for the comment and
telling me your feelings on it.

Jenny.

Just wanted to say, Jen, that you are a writer, I don't think there's much doubt about that. And It doesn't matter where your ideas come from - newspaper snippets, books, observations - thay all set the imagination going and your writing skills bring it alive on the page. It's the fusing of fact and fiction that's the key, and to do it like you do, seamlessly and naturally, well, to be honest, I'm quite envious.

sue

Thanks again sue,

but please don't be envious of me, because I look
up to your writing so much.

Jenny.

I mean it in a nice way, Jen. And thanks by the way.

Hi Jenny :) again lol.

I think its really lovely how simply yet perfectly told, this brilliant encouraging story so well done.

I also agree with Sue there should never ever be any doubt in your mind or others that your a 'writer' and one of the best writers I have come across for years. And There are lots on here that should be published up against the likes of Stephen king e.t.c and you are defiantly one of them!!!!

Keep Writing
Keep Smiling :)

Hi there Prettyrose,

Wow! I am so honoured at the comment you have left
me, I don't know quite what to say, except thankyou
so very much for the kind words you left me.

I totally agree with you that there are some
brilliant writers on here, that make writing come
alive and writing that's so original.

Since being on here, I have learnt so much, people
have been so helpful and friendly.

Thankyou again for your kind words, they were really
appreciated.

Jenny.

Thanks for reading and leaving a comment julie.

Jenny.

This is such an interesting story, which you tell beautifully. I would ech the others who think you ARE a writer. And what is great, that from what i've read so far, your work is also thought-provoking. Always a good thing in my opinion.

So many on here are great writers, and potential.

Hello Overthetop1,

It's very kind of you to leave such a kind message.
I think it takes a lot of courage for two people
such as the conjoined twins I was writing about, to
do what they do and to have achieved such a lot in
their lives.

I have to say that I do enjoy writing so much and
get a real buzz, when I've finished a piece of
writing. But then I suppose all people that write
on ABC Tales, can understand what I mean by a buzz.

I'm really grateful for your kind words of encouragement.

Thankyou so much for reading

Jenny.

Hi julie,

thankyou so much for coming back with your lovely
comments, you know they are always appreciated.

You have a peaceful and good weekend.

Jenny.xx

I really enjoyed this too - I love learning about other people's lives and perceptions, and this was such a good story. It has a lot of hope despite some of the hurdles they had to get past. and it reminds me of something I wrote once. I like it, and your other writing quite a bit.

Thanks so much for reading cormacru999.

It's always good to hear others points of view on
a piece of work I've done and I really do appreciate
you letting me know.

I know what you mean about the courage of others,
overcoming hurdles, especially when they have
disabilities.

Again thanks for the response.

Jenny.

Hello again, Jenny,

The story of these twins is remarkable and one does have to think how it is possible that they are able to overcome such difficulties. It always amazes and humbles me, the courage shown by some people.

'Aesthetically beautiful in their own way inside'
Is a very illuminating remark which reveals a lot about you, Jenny,and you write beautifully too.

I must try to read more of your work but In trying to get round to as many as I can I am sometimes spread a bit thin.

Excellent piece!

Moya

Good morning Moya,

you are more than welcome, with your wonderful
comment that has made my day.

Thankyou so much for reading and letting me know
your thoughts.

Jenny.
