Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I try really hard to post every other day but it doesn't always work out.
I can't believe it is only Wednesday. This has been a craptastic week. My two-year old sounds like a 40 year old smoker. He can't sleep at night which means I can't sleep either. My 4 year old woke me up this morning to tell me that little Timmy's (not real name) father is in jail for beating up his mother. Apparently he announced this in preschool yesterday. Then the icing on the cake is, I sent what a thought was my best story to a writer friend to ask if she could help me make it shorter. She emailed me a long list of things that were wrong with it. I am feeling super bummed. If you don't hear from me in awhile it is because I have taken my ball and gone home. Until next time.

That was a long, should've stay in bed day.
That icing isn't too bad, honest feedback is always good. Though maybe all of your friends ideas aren't right for you.
Thanks Doret. I did take a breath and looked through her suggestions. Some of them were about structure so I can certainly work on that.
"She emailed me a long list of things that were wrong with it."
Hi Jeannine, I agree with Doret's comments. I know the feeling and though it might be discouraging at first, don't let it spoil the joy you have working on that story. Yes it's hard work, but let's keep the fun in doing it when we can...
Timmie's family is fortunate to have you in their life. They can get through this. I really hope they do.
On something totally unrelated, your blog is mentioned on Multiculturalism Rocks!. Well, you got an award...
Cheers,
Nathalie
Thanks Natalie! Not only does multiculturalism rock, but you do too.
