I think if they're handled well in fiction they can work and also add some extra magic to a storyVikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039838691449950827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837881372529525579.post-29053566050090827182015-05-09T23:35:21.766+01:002015-05-09T23:35:21.766+01:00Thanks for visiting Maria!

Perhaps we open our minds to stuff once a seed has been planted there? <br /><br />A little bit like someone suggesting, you should write a novel, or try your hand at article writing, so you do, and guess what. you're enjoying it, you've made new friends, its fun, and yet you had never 'thought' of it before.<br /><br />You sound busy with interesting projects, thank you for sharing.<br />Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322234219197041788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837881372529525579.post-84557415274372997862015-05-03T19:19:18.226+01:002015-05-03T19:19:18.226+01:00Thanks Jemi!

Yes, coincidences are a bit like the overuse of adverbs and adjectives, and the inclusion of just and very-those early writer 'no-no's' that someone has to tell you about :-)Anita Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643609708390860371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837881372529525579.post-54411939365072660892015-05-03T17:42:05.544+01:002015-05-03T17:42:05.544+01:00You've had some great stuff happening!

My favourite example is that, in primary school, younger DD’s best friend turned out to be the great, great niece of my grandmother’s oldest friend. Different locations, and their meeting was entirely unrelated. We only discovered the connection when my grandmother’s friend’s children came to visit us and the BF’s family as part of the same trip!Clare Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01713781808587139274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837881372529525579.post-13174346966166446172015-05-01T19:13:17.499+01:002015-05-01T19:13:17.499+01:00Thank you Rosemary!Thank you Rosemary!Anita Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643609708390860371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837881372529525579.post-91056334193987267362015-05-01T14:37:48.250+01:002015-05-01T14:37:48.250+01:00What a lovely pots, Anita - you've been very b...What a lovely pots, Anita - you've been very busy! I love coincidences ( though maybe not so much in fiction) - they happen all the time to my daughter.
