I just wanted to say hello to everyone...I have missed all of you guys.I have been away for a few months due to some family problems and a health scare(I am fine).I tried to keep up with my songwriting,but failed and have pretty much wasted the past few months of my life as far as my songwriting goes.I have had a few positive things happen for me while I have been away.For one,I am going to be a first time grandmother in about 6 months.I am ready to get back to the songwriting though,and I am hoping that you guys will have me back.I really missed "hanging out"with all of the wonderful and talented folks here....so if you guys will have me,I am back and ready to start working on some new songs and hopefully some great collaborations...hope some of you will fill me in on all that has happened since I have been away..I just heard that Brian is in the hospital and he and his family will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers...But how is everyone doing?Did Polly and Andy ever get married?Did Glynda find her knight in shining armour yet?Please...tell me everything...lol.....Michelle Chapman

Welcome back Michelle, you were missed. I'll let others fill you in on all the news, some of it I seem to have missed along the way too.

HI MICHELLE!!!!!
Gosh, it's so damned good to see you back again! We have missed oyu a bunch. Glad to hear things are going well at this time. And congratulation on the impending grandmotherhood! We have 4...6, 11, 12 and 13 years old.
As far as the social happenings, I think it best to let everyone concerned tell you themselves. That way there's no misinformation.
I wouldn't necessarily say your time was wasted as far as songwriting goes. Every experience you have in life might find a way into a song somewhere, sometime. Every experience we have gives us new perspectives, new ideas, more reflections. Even the sad or hurtful ones leave us with a feeling, a memory...something that can be expressed musically/lyrically.
Nice to have you back with us! All the best and hope 2010 is a great year for you.
Alan

Michelle, Good to see you back. You wrote some really, really good songs while you were here. I am expecting the same amazing quality this time around (ha, ha). By the way www.fawm.org is cranking up again (write 14 songs in 28 days). Might be just what you need to get going again. Have fun and see ya around soon. Kevin

Hi Michelle,
You never "waste" time as a songwriter. You might have just been "compiling data" for use in future songs. There is never a date or time limit on writing. Write what you have gone through, help other people who might be going through the same thing.

Hi Michelle. So glad you are back. I totally agree with everybody who says that no time was wasted. Congratulations on your wonderful news. Always happy to collaborate with you. I'm sure you'll get many PMs from other songwriters saying the same Nadia _________________________ http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_music.cfm?bandID=936270

Hi Michelle So nice to see you again. Yes I missed you, welcome back hah. This Aussie girl hasn't been on the boards much lately. I've been working on a song to my Mum, who has Dementia. Also I'm learning lot's about songwriting, which is very exciting. At present it is school holidays here, so I'm pretty busy, also going to sit through two courses, as I need to do these to apply for this job next week, so I'm crossing my fingers I get the job. On the weekend, I hurt my back, so went to have remedial massage yesterday, very soar and bruised today, so I'm sitting here with a hot pack on my back, gosh, painful. Looking forward to seeing you on the boards again. Gotta go, my kids are running a muck. Hugs Michele

Hi Michelle,
Welcome back. Life takes funny turns. Like Marc says, in songwriting sometimes you just need to build up more stories to tell. There's no such thing as wasting time.
All the Best, Mike
You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash It's only music. -niteshift Mike Dunbar Music

Michelle! What a nice surprise to come on here and find this! Welcome back, and DO stick around! No, Andy and I didn't work out, but that's life. Plenty of fish in the sea. I've been writing myself (don't laugh!!!) and came up with something half decent. I've grown a lot since I've been here (that's what this place does to you!) Looking forward to seeing you around and reading what you have. (((BIG HUGS)))!

Hi Michelle,
I'm glad you're back too! You're missed around this site.
I know what you mean about getting back into writing, if I don't write for a week I have trouble comming up with a subject.
I've wrote off on since x-mas, more off than on. Eerie story about someone following me around on the internet so I sometimes hang back in the shadows watching the new people on the sites to see if they are lerit. It has been eerie, I'll tell you about it one of these days.
Take care and I'm real glad you're back!

Wow...thanks everyone for the welcome back...had a few more minor setbacks there for a few weeks...my daughter and I were in a car accident.my daughter is 18 weeks pregnant so it was pretty scary...we had to go to the hospital,but my daughter and my unborn grandchild are both fine now...i had a slight case of whiplash that has been causing me some pain,but I guess I'm going to be just fine too...It seems that I should have plenty of ideas to work on now for some new songs,cuz the last few months have been crazy...it was so nice to come back and see some familiar faces.You guys are great...I have really missed being here...I'm going to spend a few days going through some of the recent posts and try to catch up on everything that has been going on here at JPFs...its good to be back...

Hi Michelle! Congratulations on the upcoming Nan Nan job!
You didn't leave, you just stepped out for some things. No biggie.
Songwriting? When not actually writing, we're recoiling. It's all a songwriting process,,,,every minute!
Johnny now,,,,long story,,,don't ask!
