I just hope they all get emails like did! Rjs good to see ya Hon. Without chat not many come on. 1 lady was going to try and get a chat room for us but stuff happened and I haven't been able to check with anyone. Haven't seen a wow in here in a very long time. I contacted Irish when I found out Focus passed away as we were Facebook friends.

Wow, I hadn't heard about Focus. Since you're on Facebook, I'll PM you here so maybe we can connect on FB.

Sorry to hear that Focus has passed. I stayed at her home one night when visiting the USA, she lived in Lodi, California, and was kind enough to drive me to visit another friend further north. Remember the good old days of WritersChat? ScribeWOW is still around, and Focus’s daughter married and settled in NZ if I recall correctly. I wonder if she is still there? Funny, I remember Focus’s first real name, but not her last name, one of the problems of using these nicknames all the time! I think to get things going again, you really need a phone app, or mailing list, or a Facebook group that people are able to access easily and regularly.

Found her tribute page:

So loved what Focus did with WritersChat all those years ago, for not only helping develop writing skills, but develop people’s friendships online.

Thank you for sharing that info! I too miss the old days and this site has almost become a tomb with mostly voices of the past. So little activity and oddly I didn't get an email of a new post. A few have had some ideas of how to bring it back but so far nothing.
I haven't seen a WOW in here in forever. So, so sad. The advice and friendships were lovely.

Thanks for the info on Focus's tribute page, Jagguar...

I agree, Crazymomma, the advice and friendships were wonderful. It is definitely sad.

crazymomma · December 12th, 2019, 03:12 PM

Yeah I miss it. So just in case I don't get back to WOW before then Merry Christmas or happy holidays for what ever your year end brings. May it be cheer bright and stay warm

Hey all! I received an automated happy birthday message from WOW..... and here I am taking a walk down memory lane..... <3

crazymomma · September 19th, 2020, 07:00 PM

Yeah no one comes on much now that there’s no chat. No even the WOWS! Well, happy birthday

rjsfeminist · October 27th, 2020, 07:01 PM

Happy Belated Birthday, bzirc. Hope it was good!

rjsfeminist · November 5th, 2020, 07:47 PM

Well, we're starting to get a few posts here, crazymomma. I'll keep trying...We'll also need to try touching base again on FB.

etherea · November 12th, 2020, 06:13 AM

I would like to have somewhere to just chat about stuff. My head has been up my arse for far too long. Oh! I don't know if that particular phrase is known outside of the Uk. Now there's a talking point!

rjsfeminist · November 13th, 2020, 09:08 PM

LOL! Trust me, etherea, we're familiar in the States about having one's head up one's arse...I think we've all done that on occasion. It's one of those phrases that seem to mean the same thing on both sides of the "pond."
