New Writing Method

I designated a spiral notebook to do the following with the book I want to write: I am handwriting the events in the book one by one, in order, not trying to sound good, and skipping 5-6 lines between each one. That way, if I think of another “event” or thing to put in between two events/things I already listed, then I can jot it between them in the five lines. If I think of even more things to put between two events/things, then I have sticky notes in the shape of a finger pointing. This is a chartreuse colored notebook that I got for $1.49 back when school was starting. 

Gift card boss has laid off of the gift cards.  Maybe they told her to, idk.  This weekend I have to relieve the caregiver that was saving them for a she-shed.  She and I appear to be relieving each other every 12 hours a couple times.  

I’m going to join the insecure writers’ support group, but I want to make sure I’m fully able to respond to comments first. I did for a while, now I’m not.

 First of all yes I did delete all posts on this blog and am starting over. I’ve done that every couple years since 2005. I admire people who can keep up with it for decades. As for me, when my life changes, I delete blogs and posts. I feel like there has been so much shift in my life that I can start over with my daily notes. 

Tuesday I drove to San Marcos and took Anna to dinner and shopping. She wanted to try a Greek place that is unfortunately what happens when rednecks try to open a Greek restaurant. I never thought I would turn into one of those old Greek ladies that criticizes non Greeks making Greek food, but here I am. Above is an appetizer called whipped feta with hot honey drizzle. It looks like olive oil, but it’s honey. Then to make matters worse, they added banana peppers.  My daughter wanted to try it, but she’s been dipping feta into ketchup since she was a toddler. 

I’m working a lot more on my writing. I do realize that I do not always use proper grammar and punctuation on my blogs, but that’s because I’m word vomiting here. Any real writing project, of course I would edit. 

I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was 7 years old. It’s been the most controversial thing about me for four decades. I just don’t care anymore, because it’s what I want to do. Any suggestions for classes, groups, workshops, software etc appreciated.
