Rita Bourland - October 2010 - Columbus, OH

I am taking a break from Open Salon for awhile.  No dramatic reason - just need to use some of my time in a different way. Thank you for supporting Fiction Friday for the last nine weeks.  There have been some great stories written.  Thank you for your positive comments on my poetry as well.  I do not plan to stop writing.  You will be able to find my work at www.embracingepiphanies.com   I will be checking back from time to time to read some of your work. 

This poem speaks to the words that form the muscles and backbone of what we do here.  At least that’s the way I see it.  Keep on doing what you do best – write!

I hope you leave your blog up, Rita.
Fiction is an aspect of OS I haven't really explored - I'm not sure why this is ; I know there are wonderful examples here.
I guess my interests to now have been more in the real life, but I'd like to look further - meantime, thanks for the link, and enjoy the break !
ps. Great photo !
Thanks for all the fiction Fridays! I know how much time this place takes- good luck to you!
As we country folk say in Virginia, bless your heart, y'all come back, hear?
Lunchlady2, thank you for your kind words. I hope someone picks up the Fiction Friday lead and that it will continue. However, don't let its absence stop you from writing fiction.

Michelle, it would be a delight to share a bike ride with you. Keep writing your beautiful poems. They are a gift.

Naomi, I'm glad you will take up the mantle. Appreciated.

Sometimes, rest and relaxation help stir the creative ingredients that result in imaginative new adventures... I wish you well, and hope you will return, and soon.
scanner, I'm glad you liked the poem. I have a feeling that Fiction Friday will continue. I know your fine writing will always continue.

I wish that I had more time for Fiction Friday, but it's been hectic.

Lovely! Hate to see you go but will love it when you return! BEST!
Good luck to you Rita. hope to see you back soon.
Rita, your words rumbled down the page, a massive landslide of thoughts, taking me with it to the bottom.
On Open Salon, we share the written word, but today I would like to share my thoughts with you. Unfortunately I just cannot seem to find the right words!
Good luck, and hurry back when the time is right... or write!
The pleasure has been mine. Take care and always remember...
It is a lot of work and everyone needs some personal time. Thanks for starting the Friday Fiction and I will continue to feed the urge to create on my own, looking forward to your return.
Be good. Keep writing!
Rita, just got home from my trip...this was not the news I wanted to read at first click!!! But I do understand. Thanks so much for all your encouragement!
Oh your leaving us on such a high note. Thanks for the exquisite words.
See U sooner than later I hope.
Rita, you've been such a wonderful part of the OS community. I can't thank you enough for your kindness and for resurrecting Fiction Friday. I wish you all the best and hope that one day you will come back. Best wishes!
Rita, thanks for the Fiction Fridays. Enjoy your time away and come back when you can. You helped remind me of what I intended when I began posting.
-R-
We will miss you and welcome you as soon as you come back!! It was fun!!!
Let me know if you are ABLE to stay out of OS! I'm on sabbatical too (until my backlog of projects clear) but I have to come in and visit every now and then for a break. For fun. FOR WORDS!!!!
Rita,

I am just returning to Open Salon after a period of hibernation. (We writers in the Midwest tend to do that.)

Hope you will return soon.
