November 2024

Here we are again, happy as can be, all good friends and jolly good company!

That's what the song says anyway.. It's from 1931 so goodness knows why it's in my head. I may be old but I'm not that old!

However interesting old music-hall cobblers might be I must concentrate on introducing the new edition of the mighty 'mop.

It's a good one this time with lots of stories. Talking of stories, Christmas will soon be upon us so I'd welcome any seasonal contributions for the December edition. You know what to do..

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, there's this fine edition to peruse first.

it says "stories"

Andrew Lee-Hart is welcome back on here any time. This story is an unsettling tale of a man who becomes seriously disorientated. Read Daemons - but don't have nightmares!

Michael Smith is back with another story. We're off storm-chasing in Iowa with the youngsters. Do they even know about the great achievements in the space race? The story is called Iowan Old Style .

That's all we have time for today.

If you feel you have something to contribute to the site - stories, poems art or music - please do so and together we'll keep Winamop going. The email button is at the bottom of this page.

I'm off to sweep up some more leaves and pile them into a neat stack so that the wind can re-distribute them all over the place again.

Bye for now.

Winamop was conceived on a whim, is run on a shoestring, ignored by the many, loved by the few and has continued unabashed since 2003.

All human life is here, experienced people, skilled writers and rank amateurs, sometimes they hit the mark, sometimes they belly-flop (sometimes they mix their metaphors). You pick up the pieces and make of them what you will. Find out about us here and about the site here.The contributor's guidelines are here and the e-mail button is below.

We hope to continue to maintain a showcase for new writing which will grow as you, dear readers, augment the efforts of the in-house team. We have over 800 unique pages so far but, quite frankly, we need more...

Have a good look around and if you feel that you'd like to contribute in any genre, then don't be shy, send it in! The copyright remains yours, and you could win a mop (unlikely, as I've run out).

Jump straight to a category using the buttons at the top of the page, they work from any page. Remember, it's all free and is made from 100% natural ingredients!

By the way, we use a cookie to record your page ratings, if you don't rate a page you won't get one!
