Merry Christmas to you just the same."
You too.
We actually got snow here. It was quite surprising. lol
Not only do I have the place to myself but I think the entire complex is empty. *Cranks up the volum*
Dec 25th 2015Ok we said since we weren't gonna be together Christmas day we'd do something special. ..but she out did me.
Taped herself singing a song instead of just dedicating one via text. A bit off key but still by far better than anything I coulda done.
38 Casper!
One of the gifts I hid in her suitcase. 
With the caption - 'So hold back your tears this time,' - which are lyrics from a song - 'For the nights I can't remember' by Hedley, a song I dedicated to her one time in HS at a dace. ....she opened it, she cried. *head desk*
I had a hard time deciding weather to get the blue or the green ...in the end I went with the blue for all the many times I've brought tears to those blue eyes...but lets keep in mind some of those were happy tears. Ok maybe a small percentage but still....

How very disappointing...no new BMW or Audi parked in my parking space, yet once again there is a matchbox version in my stocking. Santa is a cruel and heartless being.
He's just getting you motivated. You have to earn the best things in life. lol
Today was a good day. This place was like a ghost town, went to the gym, had the place to myself, took a chance and went down to the pool, not a soul to be found. ..I'm still not getting in that hot tub though.
No I'm scared of what may be lurking in that one. You've not seen the ppl to occupy it...I'd totally drain it and put new chemicals in before I'd get in it.
Oh. I see. I'm sorry, but I may have chuckled a little if you were scared of hot tubs. Not to be mean...it's just the idea of it
We use to have one. I miss it. Though I'm quite sure there is probably someone out there that has an irrational fear of them.
I know. That's why I'd try to contain it. I don't want to be mean
Artemis is getting stronger. My candle is getting brighter again! He can't take my smile anymore wrote: "I know. That's why I'd try to contain it. I don't want to be mean"Nah I'd laugh.
I probably would too. It's just a funny idea...that's all.
ok
fear of hot tubs does exist i guess

Overall with the exception of mum crying I think today went well.
why was your mom crying? If you don't mind me asking
What's another good word for stomped?
stomped - trampled, pounded, trudge,..ummm kinda depends on which way your using it...give me the sentence and I can give you a better idea
Mrs. McGone then...
“Uh oh,” Maci whispered. “She’s mad.”Maci acknowledged.
Mrs. McGone glared at the children, “Everyone is to come straight home after school! No hanging with friends or club and sports meetings.”
It's for my writing. I'm editing the first chapter. I was actually wondering if you'd want to read it after I get done. I'm redoing the chapters and then adding them. Anyways, I've already used stomped once or twice. I've also used stalked. I don't want to reuse words too often

..ok so more like leaving in an angry huff. stormed off, trudge, ...left in a huff, turn about, ...ummm idk I'm lacking at the moment.
Yeah I take a look, when your done.
Okay. She's actually entering the room though.
Artemis is getting stronger. My candle is getting brighter again! He can't take my smile anymore wrote: "Okay. She's actually entering the room though."ok...in that passage above where is this entering the room taking place like :
Mrs. McGone burst (stormed, surged, flew ) into the room, her aggravation was clear to see as she glared at the children, “Everyone is to come straight home after school! No hanging with friends or club and sports meetings.”...something like that?
Pretty much, yeah. I like those words. I've got it done though...minus the one word. Do you want to read it and see what you think?
Seriously again?! smh I'm about to turn this phone off
Oh...isn't there some way to mute your phone or whatever?
And did you want the link? I'm not trying to push...just want to make sure

There is but it's mum and Cass mainly. sure, though I probably won't read it til tomorrow, I won't to be able to focus on it right now. Do you just want an over all opinion or what exactly are you looking for?
Oh. I see. Not really sure what to say to that one...
Whatever. Anything I can do different, grammar, spelling, opinion on it, etc.

The other three chapters aren't really ready though. I'm going to work on the editing for them. If you were to read them, it might be better to wait until I say otherwise.

Grammar and spelling are weak areas though I'll take a look and give you some constructive feedback, I'll try not to be brutal. jk
Haha. It's ok...honesty is greatly appreciated and wanted.
Still need that one word. I think I might use barged

Why am I all of a sudden in a writing mood? lol.
I'm rereading some of my stuff and thinking about what I could add, etc.

idk I use to get like that at times, though lately I haven't written anything, and its been so long at this point anything I'd write would surely be rubbish. Been there done that too
I doubt that. I don't think you can actually lose your ability to write. If you put your mind to it...the magic will come out again. If you aren't too focused, that could be a different story
Seems to be all I do though. i don't actually complete anything, except for poems. And one book

idk if I agree, I think it would take a lot of work to get back to where I was and even then I had a long way to go. ...yeah the book, mine is still sitting on a flash drive waiting for finalization. I dread that task.
Maybe...I'm still a bit doubtful. I can go a long time without writing, start it up and have people still compliment it.
Mine's not actually a book. It is, but it's a kids' book. It's like 9 pages, 4-5 lines per page. My chapter books...not even close to done

nah you can def tell the difference in my writing, like the stuff I posted this year compared to some of the stuff I had written b4...vast difference. idk it just seems to be missing something. Though I agree that other can probably pick it right back up like riding a bike. Whereas me, its gradual increase.
Kids book is still a book.
Oh. I guess I really wouldn't know. I haven't read any of your recent writing. What's missing?
I know. It's still not fair to compare it to a huge chapter book. It only took me a week to finish it, pictures and all

...idr what the other things were I put in her suitcase. I guess I'll be just as surprised.
Drawing is a talent in and of itself. idk exactly, the feel, the flow idk its just off or at least it feels off to me.
Artemis is getting stronger. My candle is getting brighter again! He can't take my smile anymore wrote: "as far as gifts go?"yeah. I know its nothing much cus I didn't put anything of real value in there in case her luggage got lost or something.
I suck at drawing. I have absolutely no idea why I did as good as I did on this little book! That's another way I stick out from my family: everyone in my family drinks coffee, sings, and is artistic. Me, I write and read.
So your heart isn't in it right now? Kind of like writer's block.
Good idea
