Now I changed my mind into loving Carrie Underwood’s music. My favorite song of hers is Before He Cheats. I have some other favorite songs that I love from her, but don’t remember their names.

Today is a day where I get to relax. Tomorrow though I have to lift weights. It is important to do exercise and especially lift weights, because if you carelessly don’t, then your muscles are going to turn soft, rather than strong. At least in my viewpoint. So you still have to do it.

I am almost finished with Splintered by A.G. Howard, and then I’ll be reading Star Wars: Afetrmath by Chuck Wendig. I love Stars Wars. I can’t wait to see the TV series. In the 80’s I’ve always wanted for a local TV station to bring a real life series in a TV channel, and it didn’t happen. Well, it almost did.

There was this Star Wars TV spin-off series in the late 80’s that aired on a local channel, but it went bust. Most of us never got to see a Star Wars TV series from then on. So sad! 😦

But, finally this TV series of Star Wars will air with real life actors. I just hope that it is cool and awesome. So, in that way I will wait for each episode to appear. I have been waiting for this since the 80’s. Finally, they are getting it done. 😀

Well, I am writing-off, and signing-off! Till the next post adventure, my friends! Remember, be safe, be kind to people of all races, respect people and their interests, and most importantly behave! Love and Peace to you all! 🙂 ❤

I am a happy, calm, and relaxed person. These days I have been doing exercise and lifting weights. I know that I am a prolific writer, but sometimes I make mistakes on its craft. I am still learning. You can see in some of my posts that I have misspelled some words. A half hour later, I correct it. I still need to practice writing.

Writing is the hardest task anyone can do and make. One thing that I do is when I feel pressure I tame it, and let it cool down. I check where the mistakes are. One thing for now on I will be doing is to check mistakes on the screen, which I sometimes don’t do.

It is very easy to think that you’ve got no mistakes and then, in the post some mistakes are shown in the internet. You can’t make mistakes once you’ve finished writing your book, and publish it at that instant. It takes time. For most writers it takes a year, or years to finish one. This is why in anything you post, or publish there can’t be any mistakes when your audience is reading it.

This is one reason I am studying grammar, because it is difficult. What I am doing is to learn the difficult and not the easy work. I am learning it slowly. Most of the stuff is very difficult for me. I am not talking about the basics, what I am talking about is the big stuff grammar. Most people don’t know grammar, and is one of the most hardest to learn.

I am lucky enough to realize that I know where my mind is at. My mind is with words. I mean the kinds of words such as verbs, adjective, complement, consonants, definite and indefinite articles, and so forth. Sometimes I remember them, but then I easily forget. I understand the basics of grammar, but want to know and understand its whole picture.

I was watching the summer Olympics today, and loved it when the U.S. women’s national soccer won against France. I loved the opening ceremonies.

I have decided to take two more grammar classes to learn it, and through these months not in those classes I will study grammar at home. I will make a full effort to study writing and grammar.

So, far I am at the right place.

Well, I am writing-off, and signing-off! Till the next post adventure, my friends! Remember, be kind, don’t be jealous of anyone, respect people and their interests, be nice, be caring, and most importantly, behave! ❤ 🙂

I still have been lifting weights and doing exercise. I am used to it.

Today was a day where I have stayed mostly at home. I need to do some errands, though.

I was most of the time studying grammar. I am getting familiar with it. The whole language of grammar is tough. I am just studying the basics for the first time, and then later build on to the difficult grammar.

A long time ago my first time on my vacation to Italy was great. Most people there were talking Italian, of course. I just love the freedom that they have there. It is much different from America. There are different things to do there.

Today was raining. The trees and plants have gotten food so they could live. My backyard is beautiful. My mom has many plants to take care of. I read most of the time. I also listen to music.

My class is almost here. It is so close for me to start learning.

Today I have been watching The Science Channel. My favorite shows are Mythbusters, Outrageous Acts of Science, and How The Universe Works. I love science, but am trying to fully understand it. It is the hardest to learn for anyone. There are only some who really know what science means and understand it.

I have been studying grammar and it seems like I am getting it. The words are quite confusing to me. It is like I am learning the Chinese language. I am taking my time, though. Right now I have no problem with it whatsoever. The only problems will be the harder grammar to master it.

I can’t wait to see The Dark Tower movies from Stephen King. I think that they will be awesome! It is a brand new kind of entertainment I would surely love to watch.

My online class is almost nearing towards August and so are the Rio Olympics.

Well, I will be writing-off, and signing-off! Till the next post adventure, my friends! Remember, be safe, be kind, respect people and their interests, respect fans’ sports home teams, and behave! 🙂 ❤

I don’t like much Mr. Robot. I find it disturbing to watch. So I am going to skip on it.

I am reading now the novel Career Is Evil by Robert Galbraith. This series is interesting, because it is a crime mystery.

I still lift weights, but only three times straight, and then the next two days is only exercise, after that I continue to lift weights, and so on.

I am studying grammar this year. It is quite confusing when you begin studying. I love it anyway. It eases my mind and feel relaxed once I study words.

These days were beautiful skies and animals. All I see is cats, birds, and dogs. Nature is a pure treasure.

It will be interesting how the Miami Heat will shape up. I just hope that it goes for the positives. I will go for the UF and UM teams. It is fun watching sports. I just watch for my amusement.

Well, I am writing-off, and signing-off! Till the next post adventure, my friends! Remember, respect people and their interests, be kind, don’t be rude, and be safe! Love and peace! 🙂 ❤

Through the this day I was watching NBATV. I was seeing the analysis of every team heading to the next season. I think the Miami Heat will be a playoff team, but it will start rebuilding again, they will have to begin again as the same of next year.

 

I have heard that Tim Duncan has retired from playing basketball with the San Antonio Spurs. This is a well coached team. I don’t see any time of them slowing down. I think that this team doesn’t tinker at all. They are good every coming season. But, the problem is that Tony Parker is 35 years old, and he might retire years later.

I was walking outside with my parents around a mile all through the neighborhood. I only saw birds flying.

Movies here are a big deal. We want most movies to be very good. We don’t want it to suck. One thing is that they made Star Wars like a tradition. I mean a Stars Wars movie will come every once a year. I feel excited about it.

I am not very good at acting, and don’t want to pursue it. I write very well. Sometimes I forget about what some of the writing material means, then I go back to the lessons to learn it. Most writers know all about the craft of writing. You have to know that I took two online writing classes each year.

I have tons of documents to read. I know my writing stuff. I am still trying to get familiar with it. It is not as easy as it looks. I don’t hear audiobooks ever. I don’t like the sound of it. When I have heard one it was hard to imagine what the storyteller is taking me. I think reading a book is more fun, because now you know where the author is taking you. You follow the main character, and you feel like you’re the narrator of the book.

Well, I am writing-off, and signing-off! Till the next post adventure, my friends! Remember, be safe, Be kind, be friendly, respect people and their interests, most importantly behave! ❤ 🙂

 

Fight or Flight

JackieSmithAuthor's avatarA Platform of Sorts

Although I like to stay informed, I’ll be the first to admit that I try my best to stay away from topics that tend to stir up controversy. I don’t like debating. I don’t like politics. My heart aches every time I see another innocent person has been shot or another town has been blown up by a suicide bomber, but I don’t like to talk about it, because talking about it makes it real. And no matter what I say, no matter what anyone says, there’s going to be someone out there who finds fault with your perspective.  I’d rather avoid that entirely.

In the face of negativity, my first instinct is to run.  This is nothing new.  I’ve always been like this.  I don’t like to pick fights because fighting takes energy.  If I’ve been hurt, I probably won’t say anything, because for me, it’s easier to just…

I am almost finished with season 1 of Mr. Robot. It is a different kind of show. It is about hackers taking down an evil company. So, far I like it.

Today and last week I have been studying the craft of writing. I should study my grammar, which I haven’t done for a while. I will somehow.

I have finished the novel Make Me by Lee Child, and loved it. I am now reading Splintered by A.G. Howard. I have just begun to start it.

We are a few days away from celebrating The Fourth of July. I can’t wait to see the fireworks. I think this day will be much fun.

I am relaxing right now, because next month I will be real busy with my online writing class. I am comfortable with it, since it is my last writing class of its craft. I can’t wait to get into publishing classes next year.

I think reading grammar will be my next hobby at home. I think I know some of it, but it is very tricky. You can’t make any mistakes once you write and publish a book. It has to stay without any errors. This is why we have editors for it.

Well, I will be writing-off, and signing-off! Till the next post adventure, my friends! Remember, be safe, don’t get mad, and jealous of anyone, be kind to all people as they are to you, respect people and their interests, and most importantly behave! Don’t cause yourself of any temper tantrums. Love. Peace. Happy Fourth of July! ❤ 🙂

Hi, friends!

Wow, it has been a long time since I last updated.  Too long.  But a lot has been going on and I’m afraid I’ve been a bit distracted.

First of all, my sweet kitty Midnight has been struggling with some health problems.  I think we’ve finally gotten her through them (hopefully!), but it’s taken a real toll on me.  She’s my baby girl.  When she’s unhappy, I’m unhappy.

Unfortunately, she’s not my only pet who has been battling some health problems.  My parakeet Petrie came down with a bit of a bacterial infection last week and all hell broke loose.  Literally.  After I got him home from the vet, he panicked while I was trying to get him back into his cage and got himself stuck behind my bookshelf.

I won’t lie to you.  There were a few moments there that I honestly thought I’d lost him.  I…
