Cutting Words……

November 9, 2022November 9, 2022Leave a comment

I didn’t want to redo my book, because I thought I had done a good job as it was. I knew my story was good, so why should I change it? I had left a publisher to look at it and said these hard words, “I don’t think your story is good, but I will still help you publish it.” Yes, for a healthy payment.

It took me a moment to overcome her words. I had to remember all of the changes I made before allowing her to read it. I listen to:

You need to add more detail.
You need to have more surprises.
You need to build up to the high part.

The list goes on, but today my eyes were open. I NEED to not only edit, but get my story back to where it was supposed to be from the start.

I know it’s going to take a moment, because I took one story and scratched that into three books. Now I decided to combine over 15,000 words into one book of 5,000 words.

Today was the first day of my word cuts. I know this is going to take a good minute to finish, but I am going to do it and do it my way….

I Will lose this weight.

I Will Never get a Needle in my knee again.

I will find a better job.

I said it, I believe it, and it’s already done ..

I believe words are powerful. They have the ability to hurt or to encourage, so be careful of what you say..

A Better Cup of Water….

October 15, 2022Leave a comment

I am working hard to drink more water and less coffee. Even though coffee tastes better. I was looking for a healthier coffee and didn’t come up with any. At least none that didn’t have a side effect. Dandelion coffee is supposed to be good for you, and it does help you go to the bathroom, but who wants that? Then again, if there is ever a need, I guess drinking coffee to help would be a good thing.

Drinking hot spicy lemon water and watching an old movie is better than drinking another cup of coffee. I am sipping on a bottle of water here and there, because I know it’s good for me. I have stopped trying to figure out why what is healthy either tastes bad or costs a lot?

I am finding myself chewing on gum, instead of getting the chips that are on top of the refrigerator. I did get Lays with less salt, so not as bad, but it’s true no one can get just one or a few. There is also some onion dip inside of the frig. I may have gotten that for someone else, but it’s still there for me to enjoy as well.

I may have to look up some ways to jazz up my water:

I can’t wait to try some of these and hope for a better tasting cup of water….

Restarting Bleach Again

Heads up here is an answer from Google as to a brief info about, “Bleach,” just in case it’s new……

{Bleach is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tite Kubo. It follows the adventures of a male teenager Ichigo Kurosaki, who inherits his parents’ destiny after he obtains the powers of a Soul Reaper-a death personification similar to the Grim Reaper-from another Soul Reaper, Rukia Kuchiki. Wikipedia Author: Tite Kubo Volumes: 74 (List of volumes) Published by: Shueisha English publisher: ^AUS Madman Entertainment ^NA Viz Media Adaptations: Bleach (2004), MORE Genres: Adventure fiction, Supernatural fiction}

Season 10….

I couldn’t wait until Bleach returns. I thought I would watch it again from the start, but I couldn’t bring myself to do that. I remembered each episode and could watch it again.
I started at Season 10 and as I worked on my burgundy project (hoping to finish it today, which didn’t happen) and enjoy a day of rest.
Bleach isn’t an anime a young person should watch or one who doesn’t want to watch a fighting anime.
Bleach comes in my top ten anime that I like a lot. One day I will make a list of all the anime I like the most……..
