The Joys of Family

Every day we tend to meet and talk to the same old people. It can be very easy to begin to take them for granted.

After all, they are there when you're happy or sad. They can drive you crazy when you're trying to watch a show or do your nails.

Then for no reason at all, you see them in a different light. Their hair is a little to long, they help to achieve a task that you wanted to avoid.

The fun thing is you find you really are glad they're in your life, and you appreciate them that much more.


Have a great week,

MMI - Football

"Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity."~ Lou Holtz


Had to share some of the pictures I took at the NE - UCLA game on Saturday. Had a great time even if NE lost.

A Little Kiss - RT

Why not give a few kisses each day?

It doesn't have to be a romantic moment. It's just an opportunity to show you care.

Kisses to you.

Have a great day,

How I Write



Just finished reading this book by Janet E. She gives some great ideas on how to keep your writing fresh and sassy.

Unlike Janet, I don't share my office with a bird, I like it quiet so I can venture inside my story. The hard part for me is describing the setting. I see the people, can hear them talking, but I have to really stop and look around to get the places right. A skill I'm working hard to improve.

The main thing to remember is to not get bogged down in the mechanics. Just write the story the first time through. Once you finish the story, you can always go back and clean it up in the rewrites.

Happy writing,

Tina

MMI - Rain

An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity; a pessimist
sees a calamity in every opportunity. - Winston Churchill
