Lesson...

"People may not tell you how they feel about you but they always show you. Pay attention."

One lesson I've learned in life that I share with my children is " When someone shows you who they are, believe them." When I use to take writing classes, one phrase that was always said about writing fiction was, "show don't tell." 

Fiction...

I finally had some time to finish a fiction book I was reading called "When Mockingbirds Sing" by Billy Coffey. I picked it up at the library and really enjoyed it. When I read books, I love to pick out the lines that say so much and as a writer myself, I love to devour the delicious lines that add so much yummy to the book. Here are a couple of the lines I loved...

"He preferred the deep beneath the words where only truth dwelt." (pg.211)

"Mabel was in a place where there's just now." (pg. 222)

"Believe in the maybe." (pg. 219)

A Writing Kind of day...

Today was my second time going to a writers group that meets once a month. It felt good! I actually felt like a writer today. Everyone loved my fiction story I've been working on, on and off for years. And it was nice to visit the story again. I've been nurturing my story for about 10-15 years in my mind and on paper. I found out though someone today that it doesn't cost anything to publish a book on Kindle, and my thought was " Oh maybe someday I CAN send my baby ( my story) out into the world through an e-book." For some reason that excited me and it really doesn't matter why ~ it's a good thing!!! I may actually call myself a writer...
