Putzin Around the House Day

-
We got so much done around our house today. I started painting the nursery. It was a pinkish-peach color and I'm painting it yellow. I have one coat on and I'll finish tomorrow.

Then I couldn't wait to see what was under the ugly shag carpet so I started ripping that up. There are beautiful hardwoods underneath. I'm sure that's what's under most of the house so I can't wait to get all of the carpet up eventually. My hubby mowed the lawn for the first time and we did a lot of odd jobs around the house. Now we're going out to dinner.

I have pictures to post of the nursery, but I can't get it to work for some reason. If you really want to see you can become my friend on Facebook...I have them on there:) My name on FB is Lisa Marie Ciurca Miles.

I discovered your site through Karen Gowen's site (Going Down the Mountain) and want to follow you. I have tried in the past few years to write screenplays. So I'm very impressed with your two titles. More later. I've got to eat and help my disabled daughter. We usually go to church on Sunday but she wasn't feeling well today, so here I am on the blogging network. I just got into it, and it is very addictive!!

My Name is Lisa and I Write Crap

-
Image
I used to be so afraid of writing something horrible, that I wouldn't write anything at all. I'd have a half-hour or so to myself and instead of getting as much down as I could, I'd type, delete, retype and delete again. I had to have perfect sentences formed from perfect ideas. It didn't work. It took me years to finally learn to just write anything. Even if it's crap (and it usually is first time around). But I'm finally OK with writing a crappy first draft. If it's still crap when I'm done, well, that's another problem all together. I used to think, What if I died tomorrow and my family found this notebook full of god-awful first drafts? They'd think I was a terrible writer! If I can write only awesome sentences, they'll realize what talent I had and be sorry they didn't take more interest in my amazing stories... or something like that. Anyway, now when I start writing a story (whether it's a novel or a screenplay) I just

Yet Another Embarrassing Confession (you would think I'd have run out by now)

-
The absolute worst part about being a writer for me is grammar and punctuation. With every post I put up, every email I send and every story I write, I am waiting for someone to come back to me and say, "Seriously? How can a writer not know where to put commas?" Commas are my enemy. I have no clue where they go. I try to put them where I think would be a natural pause in a sentence, but I know I'm usually wrong. I basically toss them up in the air willy-nilly and let them land where they want. Can you recommend a grammar/punctuation book that is easy to understand? (I never took a "real" English class in high school, so I'm starting fresh). The Elements of Style is too...sterile for me. I need something I can easily grasp onto. I'd greatly appreciate any, suggestions. (<< that comma was a joke. See, at least I can joke about my ignorance)

The Time I Exploded When I Was Seven

-

I was seven the summer of 1977, when my dad told me Elvis Presley had died. For a young kid, I was actually pretty interested in music and felt bad about him dying. I asked how Elvis died and my dad told me he exploded because he ate too much. I believed him. What did I know, I was seven? A few days later my dad made us egg salad and olive sandwiches, my favorite. I ate my entire sandwich and asked for another one. He made it for me. I ate about half of it when suddenly I started to not feel so good. I ran to the bathroom and threw it all up. My dad came in and said I ate way too much. Couldn't he have told me that bit of information before he made me the second sandwich? I started crying hysterically and wouldn't stop. He asked why and I told him I was exploding like Elvis and about to die. He laughed. I cried and threw up some more. I didn't eat egg and olive again until I was 28 and my husband made me try it. Now I love it. But only one sandwich at a time
