Lost at sea...

Not hardly,
I know here this blog has been sitting,
no one to update, make regular entries.

How is it that hours, days, weeks and months
can go by so fast and all of sudden its
Christmas time, since my last post.

Well I probably could sum it up right fast.

October...my grandmother, actually my step grandmother,
had back surgery. Luckily she is fully recovering,
she was to the point of using a walker just to walk,
now bye bye walker.

November...is my youngest daughters birthday month.
I spent at least three weeks planing here special party
Cowgirl theme, space jump, gold dig, old town... which
was three boxes from a furniture store, made into a jail,
soda salon and a best western. It rained on the party day,
but we still had a party!

a week later was Thanksgiving!

December....wow, where did October and November go?
I am finished shopping, now its time to wrap.
The kids have exams, Christmas party and half days.

Christmas is a week away!

So does this mean I forgot about the book?
Are you kidding me, between everything I have managed
to work a very minimum on it, corrections, take aways
and reorganizing. Also this has giving me time to really
think through some things, to help me understand why I need
to take away and reorganize...so needless to say I am thankful
for this time, although I wish things were moving faster.

One of the biggest things about me writing about my Cancer journey,
is the fact of not understanding just why I am doing it, meaning its
not for me or about me. I will tell you just like I told my husband
last night, in one of the very FEW conversations we have had about my
writing, due to the fact of me being this weird sick twisted person
who absolute dislike to talk about deep heart things, I am a pretty private
person, so I don't know why I am to write about this journey, I just
know I am supposed to....

Laughter :)

I am diffidently an Izzy...mother always tells me
I laugh in such moments someone should be crying.



Do you laugh in times most are crying?
Do you watch Greys Anatomy, if so which character best fits you?

LIVESTRONG DAY...

Style

Today marks a week since I met with my editor!

Red marks by the dozens, I absolutely love
her out reach, her thoughts on the project as a whole...

On that afternoon when I picked my oldest daughter up
she was so excited, wanting to see what the editor said,
immediately she questions all the red marks,
mom do all the red marks bother you,
are you kidding me,
English teachers always had hay days with my school papers.
This was always so hard on me.
I knew back then my love for writing,
but it just wasn't in a grammatically correct manner...
so I was always overlooked!

What I did begin to struggle with when I got home setting down,
thinking about the marks, the book as a whole,
my confidence I once had was no where to be found,
in fact I shot an email to my editor,
thanking her for everything, but there's just no way
I can follow through with the book!

My mind begin to swim like crazy, trying to find the answer
to help the crazy feelings,
feelings of no book in print!

This is when blogs like :

Commonly misused words...

Past tense...

Sentence fragments...


begin to surface, that's my mind swimming, working, researching,
finding answers...me talking, me writing to myself...

Last night, I helped my daughter study for a vocabulary test.

One of the words was style, the definition,
is the manner in which a writer addresses a matter,
revealing the writer's personality or 'voice.'
It is the result of the choices the writer makes in
syntactical structures, diction, and figures of thought.

More self talk, self write...

Stream of consciousness

Prose

Using Sentence Fragments Effectively

So did I answer myself...

Answer, stay true to who I am, unique writing and all...

Now I have to get busy editing the wedding pictures
I am in the middle of, then off to making corrections
my editor left for me on my book...

Do you struggle writing, losing your confidence...?

Sentence fragments...

Sentence fragments
