2005

  • On Wednesday, June 1st, I made my 250th edit as a registered user: it was on the article for the Care Bears TV show, where I listed the Nelvana episodes up to #35, Caring for Spring.
  • I'm also, right now, working on a series of story poems whose instalments have not yet been named.
  • On July 1, I was invited by Guettarda to be a part of the just-started Caribbean notice board. In time to come, I will join this otherwise small community of regional Wikipedians on this page.
  • The day after my birthday, I travelled all over the island, especially to the village of Vieille Case--and now that has inspired me to resume my year-old Hail, Itassi manuscript. Unfortunately, it's stalled for a few months now...
  • Which leads me to something else: my experiences on the family beach party at Mero on August 20 have inspired me to write a new children's story which includes this setting, codenamed after such a place. It will have to resume when exams are done in mid-December.
  • I've finally received my brand-new Dell notebook computer! And now, more recently, the Internet on this system has finally sped up my work (and, somehow, Real Player when it comes to creating the Care Bears II article).
  • My 500th edit has come to pass--with the creation of The Long Lost Care Bears article! (See user page for stats.)

2006

  • My web site has a new home - http://colretton.pbwiki.org! Updates are due very soon.
  • I'm going to Vieille Case once again tomorrow with sisters and Dad! Hope this helps me finish the Mero book in a matter of days.
  • At least I can concentrate on typing Hail, Itassi when I have time, and start working on Yellow Morning, Blue Afternoon.
  • I am approaching my 1000th edit on EN and my 500th on SIMPLE.
  • Tomorrow, my mind is set on finishing chapter 11 of the Mero book. The rest is set for completion next week... 02:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Yesterday, I made my 1000th edit on Saint George Parish, Dominica (as part of WikiProject Dominica Parishes). I am starting to work my way up on becoming an admin. (22:04, 18 February 2006 (UTC))
  • I am so sorry if this hasn't been updated--I'm just too busy with Wikipedia! Well, this is my first piece of news in almost five months:
I've finished the manuscript of the first chapter of my fourth book. I may or may not be with you Wikipedians as I try to get it printed and translated, so please bear witness while I struggle to get a break from here. --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 23:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • On Sunday night, my Yellow Morning, Blue Afternoon has unofficially been re-launched. As a result, I will or will not be editing WP that much while I'm on it. (00:30, 12 December 2006 (UTC))
