~I Love Comments~ :-)
Ive gotten some nice emails lately commenting about this blog. I hope when you read something I say that you realize its my opinion and how I feel.. Im honest I guess to a fault, I tell it like it is.. I want you to know, those of you that read me, and then leave such interesting comments, I sincerely appreciate that.. If you don't agree with me which some don't, its ok to say that .. We can start a nice discussion in the comments on here ... I wont take offense, as I said we all have opinions and ideas and who really is to say who is right or who's wrong? We all, at least I do, I think about what Im going to say before I say it ... Words can hurt more than a knife.. I know the power of words.. But I appreciate different views.. and ideas..like Momar that always has something so interesting to say.. I still say you should write a book Momar..your very interesting.. And dear Mary.. shes a good egg she is.. such a blessing to me to know every day I will read a few words from her.. Means a lot to me.. Words have power.. Everyone that reads and lets me know I sincerely appreciate it.. Just remember if you have a question, or want to know something..just ask.. Don't be afraid of the comment section..I promise not one bad thing will happen to you.. So if you feel like responding to what I say ..Let me know.. I love reading the comments every morning when I log back on...we could start a nice discussion group...:-) I mentioned about writing a book..and I had asked a very dear friend that was in the advertising business if he knew some publishers..The reply was "yes, but they don't bother with amateur writers".. Ive been writing all my life..does that make me an amateur? I take that word as being new but learning.. How do you ever get past that level if no one publishes you so you are no longer considered an amateur? I only asked in regards as to getting information as to just how to go about writing a book..not asking to be published...But I took that offensively by those people.. Good thing I hadnt inquired of those publishers in person hey? Amateur.. my butt...I bet at one time Mark Twain was an amateur too but someone said ok..hes no longer that now hes a professional.. so whats the difference he wrote the same way... One day I shall be a very famous writer have a best seller then I can send a reply to that friends publishers..that I wouldn't LET them publish me now... Arent I mean? :-) no..right is right.. we all deserve a chance, we all have to start somewhere...we may do a lot of starts..but its all a beginning... I can remember when I had a lot of pen pals in school from all over. I remember one in Japan..Very good friend..we wrote a lot.. I always over the years kept in touch via the mail..Now with these computers Ive found I cant hardly hold a pen in my hand! Im so used to typing.. I just wrote a letter to my cousin June..telling her the good news about my sons.. I typed it in notepad and printed it out then signed my name. Is that lazy or what! These computers spoil you I think...Over the years Ive always stayed in touch with my cousin, when her husband died quite a few years ago I wrote her a letter..she still has it.. she has told me all these years since high school I was a talented writer and I should write about my amazing life.. I can see her shaking her head and telling me "Lois, how did you survive all your life?" Which like I say if I really did write all that I have lived through it would read like a science fiction novel that no one would believe.. Was a very interesting one I will say and Im surprised myself that I have made it this far and still going strong.. A few flaws but.. Im still rolling along.. in more ways than one ! :-) I had 2 visits today. one from Theresa and one from Rebecca..They both are so nice..The time flies when we sit here and chat. Dear Theresa brought me a icee today from DQ..she knows how much I love them and I have it here sitting by me.. They are so good..and I have to say are about the only thing that does quench my thirst... It was such a nice thing for her to do..Shes a sweetie..So is Rebecca, we talked about my getting a 2 bedroom house to rent..She assured me again that I have nothing to worry about on my grant when the 2 yrs are up this October. Its a sort of relief..but I still am leary with not one thing in writing.. I have no proof of anything. makes me nervous. I wish I did have a bigger place, but if I cant this house will do .. Shes going to talk to Chris about it..She said they told her 1 person could only have a 1 bedroom.. They state they do inspections according to HUD regulations.. well HUD does NOT descriminate on how many bedrooms you have .. So..my logic now..how can Keystone pick and choose which HUD rules they want to follow? That just rings very odd to me.. So shes going to find out.. Id like to know.. Lunch today was meat loaf and I sure can tell that its a new cook and she sure changed the recipe..I ate it anyway I was hungry but it wasn't the greatest.. So I will fix something later maybe a PB & J. My lilacs are still smelling lovely..Theresa and Rebecca commented on how nice it smelled in here. I agree- I love lilacs.. Time for me to post this..and remember- wanna say hi or comment- please do so.. just lets not be ugly tho..keep it nice :-) Cant post until I put my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite" :-) Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and Thanks!!! :-) ALways, Lois **** |
God Bless you, is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend";
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again.....

Lois it is nice coming here, sometimes it bring back memories for me or something to think about...and it wonderful you are sharing part of your life with us. And it help us to share part of our life with you.
The computer has been one of the best thing that happen for me in my older years.
My stomach is upset again, wish that wouldn't happen to me...
God bless you Lois.

re: blogs and journals, Anais Nin kept a running journal from 1931 - 1945. She was of Spanish - Cuban decent - Once she wrote erotic writings for a weathy Viet-Namese businessman - the book was called *Delta of Venus.* Before you try to submoit your blog for publishing read what others have done.

Hi, Honey,
Margaret Mitchell was an amateur - the word doesn't mean "inferior" it means "lover of ---" Even W. Shakespeare, Esq. had to start somewhere.
You made the point some time ago that you didn't read other folks stories for fear of "contaminating" yours with their ideas. I guess, given a decent editor to rub some of the rough edges off, (though not too many!!) your stories are good, publishable stuff. You have a gift for describing a scene so that your readers feel that they are part of the action - a rare gift, indeed, and one that I bet some "professional" authors would give their eye teeth for!!
My handwriting is so bad, I often use "Word" or "Pages" when I write letters. It means that the recipient can actually read what I want to say, which would be doubtful if the letters were handwritten. If it's a short note to one of the Scallywags, then I would print it, by hand, very carefully, so's they could read it for themselves.
Talking of Scallywags reminds me, I must get out to my 'shop and finish making those toy boxes and the CD storage shelves for my daughter, Naomi! It's hard work caring for six assorted Scallywags, believe me!!
Take care, Honey,
Luv Ya,
Raife
