breaking up purrs - was writing purrs

... On 2006-04-04, meeee penned: "Sandra" wrote in message ... Son came back this pm with ex? girlfriend - all very happy, so I assumed they had made up. Now I am told they are still friends, which after the hullabulooo last night has got me very confused! Why can't kids just go straight to adulthood and leave this messy teenage thing behind? I just can't believe the just friends bit is going to work when they want to date others... sandra omg how confusing. well at least he's happy for now. To be honest, reading this, I have sudden insight into what my mom must have felt like when I was in my yoyo relationship ... it lasted something like 8 years (about 6 too long). The only advice I can give, not that any was requested, is to *never try to push him away from his girlfriend.* Really, any friend. The harder you push, the harder they'll push back. I honestly believe that if my parents had kept their lips zipped about my relationship, it would have ended much sooner. Would have to second that. My parents made it very clear they didn't like my ex, almost *nagged* me about it every time they could get me alone without him. I stayed with him for 11 years, 10 years too many. And it was also a yoyo relationship, we were forever splitting up, I would run home, aprents would give me a lecture about how bad he was and how I was better off without him etc etc, and *whambam* I'd be back with him again.

Writing purrs
"Singh" wrote in message
... I've been busting my onions with writing projects for quite a while. It is my dream above dreams to be a full time writer, to be able to leave the Job of Evil and spend my time researching and typing, sell the movie rights, find a nice fat actress to play The Heroine Who Secretly Looks Like Me. (I was thinking of Kirstie Alley, but now that she's pimped herself out to Jenny Craig it wouldn't be very realistic!) But I'm going on a tangent! Can you all spare a few creativity purrs up to Buffalo? I'm working on two projects. One is about a person who has serious issues with religion after a disabling accident. I now find I have to research orthopaedic conditions and Catholicism side by side, and with my day job it's daunting. My other, which some of you have heard about, is the autobiography of Friedrich Amadeus van Beethoven Singh, as told to yours truly. This is the one that I want to do to solely and specifically benefit certain no-kill cat shelters with whom Louie and I work, and it's hitting close to home. The first draft has covered domestic abuse (of human people, not cat people) and the crossing over the Rainbow Bridge. If a purr can heal body and spirit (as these postings show every day!) then why not a frustrating writing block that's making me wail and gnash my teeth? Help! Missed this the first time.... Lot sof creative and inspirational purrs coming your way. I hope your Muse returns shortly - and that you got a nice post card from their vacation too :-) Yowie |

Sounds like it's time to go out for a burger at Fudruckers. Maybe you
and Louie want to give me a ring some time, and we'll go complain about the world for an hour or two. Sometimes it helps to have someone to complain with. Did I ever mention that my Dad is an editor, and that I've inherited some of his skills? Perhaps an assistant editor could come in handy. -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll.

Writing purrs
We have been purring away for your son, especially our morale officer, Brandy.
She's very good at making people happy. I hope your son's OK. I think we all have had more than our fair share of similar experiences! More happy-purrs on the way. Glad to exchange; the barter system's a good thiong. Blessed be, Baha Sandra wrote: purrs coming your way, but could we exchange some? My 17yr old son has (very suddenly and unexpectedly ) split up with his girlfriend of 2 yrs. Just before she was due to holiday with us and only a week after he bought her a very expensive present for her 18th, which is coming shortly. Need strength for this one! sandra |

Writing purrs
Thanks. I'll purr for your muse, and you purr for mine?
Blessed be, Baha Shiral wrote: Baha, Purring mightily for the writer's block to disappear! I just finally had my muse return after a lengthy, depressing stint of writer's block or at least Writer's Vast Disinclination to Write, so I do totally understand the frustration and anxiety connected with that state. And with my own new project, I find there are all sorts of unexpected things I have to research. Just remember, the library is your friend, as is your local librarian. Put 'em to work! I can tell you, a real research question is a welcome project after telling the umpteenth person where the bathrooms or the videos or the children's department is. For your first draft, you might try the Nanowrimo approach, which is simply to WRITE. Write fast, and don't worry too much about the quality. When you find something you feel you need to know more about and which needs research, by all means make a note of it to yourself, but then KEEP WRITING. Research is necessary yes, but it can become an almighty trap. It's nice and safe, and it can bog down a project like nothing else. It may start out with "I need to research XY or Z before I can move on" but eventually it can become "Oh thank God, I don't have to finish my project UNTIL I've researched X, Y and Z!" I'll keep purring for you, if you'll keep purring for me. =o) Melissa |
