I don't envy kids having to go through it now a days with all the fancy phones, cars, and constant upgrades in the clothing and electronics department. The cool thing in my time was cell phones and I knew I couldn't afford it, nor could my parents. It sucked until I grew up and realized the kids that made fun of me would soon get what they deserved. Those kids don't matter but it's hard to tell your children that because they are living it and when your parents warned you, you thought they were too old to understand, lol. <br /><br />The blanket statement Write what you know is certainly open to your viewing. I write YA fantasy so everything I write about I make up, but somehow I know about it all, it's my world. I created it, it's my own which makes me writing what I know, it's from my perspective. I wish you the best of luck on your writing journey and look forward to checking back to see the progress! I've just finished writing my second novel and it's leaps and bounds better from the first one I've ever completed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066055269353045964.post-892998345587904312010-07-16T04:09:38.657+03:002010-07-16T04:09:38.657+03:00All you can do with your girls is do the best that...All you can do with your girls is do the best that you can to teach them the need for self-respect, but not self-love. Sounds so easy; doesn't it? If you pull it off, you'll probably be the first parent in history to do so. Most kids, like most adults, have to learn everything on their own.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066055269353045964.post-77333511960054956702010-07-15T21:33:56.930+03:002010-07-15T21:33:56.930+03:00Hang in there, missy!

I get good ideas in the shower sometimes... ;o)LTMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239077455322030275noreply@blogger.com
