Randomness and a Bit of a Rant

Jan 10, 2010 14:33

The most wonderful thing happened to me at two in the morning. I woke up suddenly with a clear answer to a problem I was having in my editing process of Mystic. I had described a character in a blasé way and I was reworking the scene. I went to bed thinking about what I had written and wondered if it was believable or if it should be changed again ( Read more... )

Thanks, Krista, for visiting my blog. I'll be sure to check in and follow your adventures as you write Mystic. Sounds like a fun story!

Krista,
I am so happy to have found your blog from Rob on the Reeve Foundation's website. You are a wonderful writer, and an inspiration. I have now found the time to turn to writing (my "babies" are 22 and 24), and I am loving every second. I'm also inspired by your posts regarding your daughter and family. I started an adaptive clothing line (that's how I found you - I am on the Shop for a Cure page) last year, and it truly has led me to meet wonderful people, some who have become close friends.
Rob mentions that we are able to read your first chapter of Mystic, but I can't get there. Would love to read it. I have three stories going right now...hopefully they will be completed some day.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello and how much I've enjoyed reading your posts here.

Arielle sounds like she needs an attitude adjustment anonymous January 14 2010, 21:43:03 UTC

Why does she make up stories when asked what happened? What scares me more is that Mom supports her bratty behavior. I've been a quad for 8 years and never thought it funny to make up stories and I'm sure I've been asked more than her. What is wrong with a Dr. asking her if she needs help? Again, Mom thinks that's crossing the line. Wake up and rant about a real problem. I could go on, but somehow I think the family thinks Arielle is above all this and that would upset poor Arielle. Write your "rants" on true problems, not this petty crap.

Jason, Thanks Mystic is fun. I wish I had your talent for illustrations!

Liz, Thank you very much. I'll check out your clothing line on the Reeve website. Thanks for letting me know. Mystic's first chapter is on this journal. Or you can join the fan page on Facebook. Follow Rob's links. I'm going to post chapter two soon.

Anon- I am very sorry if my words offended you. Arielle makes up the stories to be funny. She always tells the people the truth afterwards. I should have been more clear about that. The Dr. never asked Arielle if she needed help. He assumed she did and told me what to do to help her-without knowing either of us. If he would have asked her and spoken to her directly instead of me, I wouldn't have thought anything of it.
