Current Issues

I believe in having faith when ever we start with a project to finish it. I have often stumbled everyday on this journey. I am working with myself. I have asked others to join in good faith that something good will come out of this accomplishment. Being a woman who has endured cancer and many sugeries along the way--has gave me more will-power not to give up. I have learned to write better and to me is a great accomplishment. I struggled with writing, but not with ideas and being creative. I am currently working on a screenplay called Granny Tattoo- about a young man who was nearly raised by his grandma. She passes away on his 21st birthday and he is devastated. He had made her a promise to stop by her house first but instead he stopped else where.
Jessie and his friends go to a tattoo shop--he was warned not to go. Rumors were the tattoo shop was cursed but he went anyway and the manager placed a image of his late grandma on his left arm.
This story is full of humor and drama and laughs for evryone- when his grandma's spirit enters the tattoo.
I wrote the book dedicated to all grandparents who help with their grandkids in some way or another, these days we see a lot of grandparents rasing their grandkids. The book targets all age groups and genders.
This story will touch your heart and make you laugh too. I was raised by my granny when my dad and mom divorced. I based it on my life and of course I added some fiction because tattoo's don't come alive or do they?

News

I watch the news every evening and 90% of it is very depressing. My mother will not watch the news anymore due to it making her more depressed. I have done a research on people who watch the news at least three times a week. After doing the research and feedback it seems when people watch the news at least three to four times a week feel over-whelmed and upset. I have read commnets from people who say the news that many times a week was to much. They commented the weather was good to hear but all the sad and bad news was beginning to take a toll on some of the subjects who partisipated in the research.
I also ask the subjects what if there were a News program they could watch about real people who brought laughter back, and made sure there would be a 30 minute segment of funny, happy news--mixed up with the sad, bad news.
This was only a test done by surveys mailed out to 125 people and 68% wanted more funny, happy, but the sad news first or do a News segment that made them feel better--less depressing.
Thanks for reading this and like I said it was only a test.

Breast cancer awareness

Just the other day I made a phone call to make a dentist appointment. The lady on the other end took down my information. We slipped into a conversation about cancer and that was when she told me she had found out she had stage two breast cancer. We had a nice chat and at the end of the conversation she said it was meant for me to call. I just picked the dentist by randon phone call. She said it made her feel better and I promised to pass on a book I had read called Lesson's from a Bald Chick" and I told her she would be in my thoughts on Friday when she would be in surgery.
You never know who in this life you might help or touch a heart with inspiration and give them hope." I pray she is doing okay and I will keep you posted.
Cancer is a word I hate to hear and I will never forget the day I was told almost 10 years ago I had cancer, but I am cancer free." I am thankful!

New Ideas

This is my first blog. I am a new author or soon to be published by Trafford Publishing Co.
I am reviewing my book due to having a bad editor had more mistakes then I had. I have learned from my mistakes and you get what you pay for in an editor. Being new to all this stuff and still learning. Working late into the night to fix all the mistakes in the book. I would like to share my ideas to someone who is looking for new stuff. I have researched every book title called tattoo granny and there are no books like this one. It has a different synopsis it is a comedy dedicated to granparents raising their grandkids. It is funny and it is sad, but it is a story worth hearing and worth telling. It would no doubt make a good movie... if gave a chance. Never hurts to dream or think about it. Forrest Gump was a good movie and I loved it. Well enough said about the book called tattoo granny. Thanks for reading my first blog!
There are alot of good writers and authors out there...'
