Happy Thursday and Happy World Lizard Day

No worries. I'm happy to help if i can. You'll figure out your style the more you write and try new things. And your editor can help you as well. Regarding short stories, I prefer them myself. I love to read a good long novel, but i like to write short stories. I've written longer things, but they are more of a challenge for me. But we're all different, and i think you should try different genres and styles to help you grow as a writer.

Do you have a journal or notebook. Write in it... any writing is good. Ideas, what you see on your commute, a poem. Whatever. I don't give myself time frames. Changes, took me over a year to write, maybe more. I retired from full-time work 2 years ago due to health issues...it's harder to focus the more time i have … that's my experience. Hmm, well, i've done both. If i'm getting to 5k words, then i think i may have to start a new chapter soon. My old editor once told me each chapter should so of be a story on its own. He was better at that than I am. But i try to find a comfortable place to end. A cliffhanger of an ending for each chapter gets old pretty quick. Sometimes it cannot be helped, however.

You've been around longer than me.. and you're very cool!!! Thanks my friend.. oh, i dont know about that!! LOL

Glad you got home safe and sound, and i hope you enjoyed your vacation!

Thank you, Michael. xo Thanks everyone!! Did someone say speech? hahaa no speeches..lol

Okay.. but let it be an option to keep in your back pocket.

i think that's a good idea ... yes you want to get there, and if you take another day you need to pay for another room, but your safety and comfort are important too.

Mmm, no. Hahaha.

Lotsa breaks and good music might help...just think of the reward at the end of that drive! You'll be home!

~Thinks about Michael's paddle and cane collection~

Well done, for saying nothing. That's wonderful that you're so strong. (Telling him how good he's being is a method of reinforcement training.)

Topic: Men Beside me in my lil creative corner of the living room, sits a small end table where my laptop is when not on my lap, a very old poinsettia (it must be getting on for nine years old now- the base of it is wood now, not green stalk anymore... it came from the grocery store and decided to stay), a spider plant growing in water, a bottle of lubriderm and some kleenex (no Wayne, just no). My Husband, who is working from home today was in the kitchen and looked out and said to me, "Did you put more plants down there." "Sorry? What plant?" "The spider plant." I said, that's been there over a year. He looked at me and said., "Really?" I said, yep, at least that long. I wouldn't mind but He sits on the other side of the same table. Sigh.

I'm so happy you're going home. i wish you an easy move and lots of happiness. xoxo

Happy Monday. It's 11am, why isn't your AC on? Oh, it will be in a second. Have a good one, everyone.

On the balcony where we used to live, it got to 120f in the sun. Horrible. While it's like this, i don't venture much past our backyard.

i can't get past 80f... it's just too hot for me..

omg.. that is wayne.. hahahahahaha

My mum grew it in our backyard when i was a kid. I talked to Dan and looked up the best times to plant. You can plant it in late fall, but Dan isn't thrilled with that idea, so we'll go for the early spring option. He has a garden plan, so added rhubarb to it. Your youth...lol, sorry made me laugh. Not really sorry..

Happy Sunday aka World Lion Day. ... no i did not say World Lying Day, which i don't think is a thing and shouldn't be, but there is Tell a Lie Day which happens just after April Fools Day and is supposed to be fun. Personally not a fan of April Fools or now, Tell a Lie Day. Anyway.. here's the reason for this day... Keep cool if you're somewhere hot..

i'm okay thanks and hope you and your mom are... oh man that must have been warm with the power outage. geez. Yeah i buy frozen strawberries and rhubarb and then throw in some apple too. But i'll talk to Danny and maybe we can grow some. stay cool.. cold damp cloths around your neck can help.. night xoxo

We all love rhubarb. It cost more than meat in the store.. $5.99 CDN per pound. i'm going to see is we can grow some next year. I hope you get your money back from you bank issue. And charming bank people are always nice.

in the kitchen cooking ... today at 95F is the coolest of the next few days. Making strawberry, apple & rhubarb crisp and baking a very large quiche. There will be lots of salad and some bbq ribs over the next few days. Happy Saturday.

all right.. time for this boy to hit the hay have a good night all xoxo

wow 😲
