Good luck! I’m enjoying some extra time as well this fall, and am trying to use it to accomplish writing goals long overdue . . . one of them being to start a writing blog!

There’s my thought, and my thinking about my thoughts, and a second voice commenting on my thoughts (and actions) when I stop to listen too closely.
It’s like Terry Pratchett wrote about first and second thoughts in the Tiffany Aching series. First thoughts happen. Second thoughts think about the first thoughts. The other voice is just a narrator.

I love libraries, but can’t write in them. They’re just… too… quiet.

Just dropped by to say hi.

I always love the decorations in the children’s section of libraries. They’re so much fun! Have fun writing in the library.

I can so relate to you. I’m most at home in the children’s/YA section at libraries and bookstores. And my local bookstore and librarians must be used to people like us because when I ask a question, they say, “Are you looking for you or someone else?” No explaining necessary.

Comcast sucks. I used to have them and always experienced shortages. I switched to DSL and have never had an issue.

Comment on Being a successful writer by Vee Demarche

Hi Francesca,

Thanks for your thoughts on success… I agree, it’s all too easy to say you are going to do something, when really, only the real stuff happens when you actually do do something.

I found you because I was looking for a picture of shattered glass… the picture you have, above in your blog, showed up in Google Images… I was wondering if I could use it on a t-shirt design I’m working on? In part a tribute to Gill Scott Heron, who recently died… and in protest of our current political masters.

Please advise…

Thanks… either way.

Be Well!

…a fellow struggling artist,

Vee

That’s an interesting theory. What does it mean if I alternate between writing first person and third person? (And enjoy reading both too.)

[...] “Happy Birthing Day” at Francesca Amendolia’s blog Making it Up (in which the author aptly describes thinking, each year on her birthing days, “What it was like in the morning when there was no baby. What it was like as the baby was born. What it was like calling them by name for the first time. They remember none of this. I remember it all.” [...]
