I don't know how to put pics up on here. I used to use imageshak but it's changed the format and I don't understand it. Besides, they may look old fashioned now but that's me in my avatar at 60 odd, so use your imagination 
I don't have any imagination, I am a Capricorn.

I am a capricorn which is blessed, all things to all people <3 <3

Well like I say Dolly Dagger is my favourite comedy writer, then there's Jane Austen for comedy too, George Elliot for the classics, Conie Booth did a little sitcom I liked, Janet Evanovitch for comedy crime, Sue Grafton for private eye crime, Robin Hobb for fantasy and Mary Stewart likewise with her Arthurian trilogy and the genius Ursula Le Guin and Enid Blyton of course! Lots really.

I have a huge forehead and fists.
Who the f**k is Dolly Dagger?
Dolly Dagger was quite a regular contributor on here. Named herself after a Jimi Hendrix song.

And I thought Robin Hobb was a bloke.
Lol. No. Didn't like her last trilogy so much if I am honest.
Dolly Dagger was around when I used to lurk here a lot, and I thought she was really funny.
Any man who says "women can't write" is probably just scared about what those women will say.
A few times in my curious, but acceptable existence, I've picked up books in shops and then instantly put them down when I've seen they're written by women. Not sure why.
I used to like Butterflies though! Honest! And Joan Collins!
Because you have a very fixed idea of what sort of thing you think women write about.
And people wonder why some writers go by initials!

They probably write about periods, eating cake/chocolate, men being bastards, frilly stuff. I can't say for sure as I would never read a book by a woman, but I bet that's all they write about. That and breast exams.
We all judge books by their covers, including who wrote it. It's pretty lame really, I'm sure we all miss some excellent stuff that would be right up our street.
This is why I will never manage to become a female poet - doubly disadvantaged writing. Unless I become annoying and angrylesbian like Carol Ann Duffy.
