WINNER for JULY NaNoWritCAMP and Write-a-Thon

YA! Another accomplished day, July 31, 2020 for my edits for DAMSELS.

SPELL CHECK

Writing for me is a long, tedious process because my nemesis...spelling. I'm finding that each spell-checker uses different rules for spelling and grammar corrections, almost like hiring four different proof-editors.

Scrivener, where I write has a spell check; then downloaded to word.docx spell-check again, then into an upload in to grammarly.com for the last check before cut and pasting back into Scrivener to compile for a Google.docx as a 'view only' for my websites and check again.

A2Z 2020 Accomplished

READ A2Z BLOGS
The A2Z Blog Challenge and NaNoWriCAMP used to enhance and re-image 21 folktales and legends about maidens and matrons. 

My frame to tie the stories together was, 'Why I like the story?' I corrected the question to "DO I LIKE THIS TALE? The folktales preached a code, a norm --> 'women are servants', and sadly she went along - horrors. 

I changed my question, "Why this tale is included?" and retitled Damsels in Distress. Visiting these tales,...

 V FOR THE EMOTIONAL FEELING, VALUE

We Carry Negatives.

These stories listed in TheStoryRealm because of an astonishing book that entered my life when I was very sick and had to change my expectation for myself, The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, by Debbie Ford, published in 1998. The book handed to me by my best friend, Janet, we did professional gardening for eight years. I have known Janet since the late 70s. I was an in-house child-care provider (pre-school for ages 2 to 5)...
