Must stem from fears of the witch when I was little :D<BR/>Glad to know you read to your kids. I started when I was pregnant and now love to see the joy on Jacob's face when he reads to me (almost 3 grade levels above his current grade).<BR/>My 13 are up!Kimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996517946703118785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11933153.post-1136608652232673012006-01-06T22:37:00.000-06:002006-01-06T22:37:00.000-06:00I read "Wicked" several years ago, and I don't rem...I read "Wicked" several years ago, and I don't remember it being a book for kids.

In fact, ...Hey, I'm trying the writing thing, too. In fact, that came up on my last Thursday 13. Except I write enough...I just need the focus to finish what I start. But as a project nears completion my mind veers to others. Goal for this year is to get something published! OK, so I did that last year, but kind of stumbled into it. This year I want to do something intentional...it'd be nice to be paid for it too : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11933153.post-1136519223074007702006-01-05T21:47:00.000-06:002006-01-05T21:47:00.000-06:00Resolutions over done?

We were up so late last night I may have seen one then, but who knows? Do you ever feel like all your thoughts are in your mind somewhere but now is just not the time of day to pull them out and line them up? Yeah. That's where I'm at. It doesn't seem like you are though. The list was fun to read and your resolutions were inspiring.<BR/>Happy Thursday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11933153.post-1136507982219496192006-01-05T18:39:00.000-06:002006-01-05T18:39:00.000-06:00Hey, there - thank you for the kind comment on MIM...Hey, there - thank you for the kind comment on MIM's blog!<BR/><BR/>Your resolutions are great - good luck with them.

A great book is Stephen King's "On Writing".<BR/><BR/>My 13 are up :)Running2Kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115141360927156245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11933153.post-1136498708585671912006-01-05T16:05:00.000-06:002006-01-05T16:05:00.000-06:00About your writing: Try to make a goal to either w...About your writing: Try to make a goal to either write a certain amount of words a day or to write for a certain amount of time. I strive to write for at least a half an hour five days a week.<BR/><BR/>Don't worry about what you write, just write something. Start the screenplay, create a magazine article. Just write if that's what you want to do. You'll find what you're best at.

In regards to writing, there are several books out there that can guide your writing steps...they give you creative writing excercises to do. I have 2 such books. Would you have time to take a creative writing class? Most community colleges offer such a class (I took one and I LOVED it) Heck, even writing in a daily journal is a start and may guide you to other ideas.<BR/><BR/>My 13 are up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
