Hello Islanders!
It’s Tuesday, 12:01 AM on the U.S. east coast. As promised, here is the post to which you can submit your links in the comments section. PLEASE NOTE: your very first link will be held for approval, and will not show up immediately. This is not to censor anyone’s writing, you write it and post it on your blog — and you are free to post the link here on the island. Your initial contribution will be moderated solely to prevent flotsam and jetsam (SPAM) from floating up and littering the beaches.
To place your link, click on ‘comment’, and place your link as a ‘comment’. Remember, only post the link to your work here, and please make certain your link is accurate. The piece you’ve written should be posted on your personal blog… you’re pros and familiar with all this, I’m just being diligent.
If you want to read your fellow islanders’ contributions to this week’s prompt, “My Imaginary Life”, just go to ‘comments’ — and from there you can explore the island.
Well, I’m thrilled you’ve come. Writers Island is now your island. Please feel free to let us all know what you want and need on the island to make it a nurturing experience. Your suggestions will be submitted to the island community for consideration.
Now, find yourself a comfortable place to settle in, there is food and drink for everyone — the kind that nourishes your spirit. The weather is always beautiful here on the island, and the breezes are aways cool… so please, relax, express yourself, and let these cool breezes carry your words. WELCOME fellow islanders! 😉
Whee! Do I get to be first?

Morning Rob,
Here is my link to my post.

Et Voila! Arabian nights at Paris Parfait. http://parisparfait.typepad.com/paris_parfait/2007/09/post.html
Mabrouk for the success of your new site!
I have no special prose link for today, but I wanted to thank you, Rob, for putting up this site, especially with Poetry Thursday ending.
Today is a wonderful day for new beginnings. Last year I posted a serious piece because I live in one of the 9-11 areas. This year I’m relishing times from a few days ago and choosing not to impose any constraints on myself. Thinking of an imaginary life is a bit much for me now, but I like the prompt and will file it away for the future!
I look forward to exploring the links another time when I’m not plagued by insomnia.
Artistically,
GeL
If you imagine it, it will happen. Imagine!
Thanks for the fun. Here’s mine.

Hi! I wrote a poem called Swimming to Nowhere. You have to scroll down a bit to reach the poem, because I wrote an intro for my readers, telling them about this site. Thanks for doing this!

Hello fellow islanders –
It’s the end of the first full day that Writers Island has been receiving visitors, and we have a nice beach party underway. The stars are out, and the breeze is wonderful.
Looks like there may be many beautiful days ahead.
I am so glad! 😉

Better late than never, I suppose.

Splendid start there, islanders. I hope to come bask with you in the future.
Hi Island! Sorry for being so late, and I’m not sure if my entry will be included, but I thought to myself: ‘better to try than wonder about it’. So:
