I love the noise of silent paper. It doesn’t complain. It gets creative. This is one of my ways to write a story.

I am regularly walking a mile, lifting weights, and doing abdominals everyday and love it. I haven’t studied grammar today, but will tomorrow. I think it is best to take a rest from it, so I could come back to it the next day. I have read, but novels. I am almost finished with The Heist by Janet Evanovich. I am planning to read another novel, but this one is by Brad Thor. His novel is called Blacklist, and it is not related to the hit TV series of the same name. They are two different fictions.

Some of the grammar is in my mind, and love that when it happens. It means my brain wants to learn all of it. Grammar to me doesn’t look boring and scary to me anymore. I am used to it.

Through this day I was listening to Josh Groban’s music. I heard Pure Imagination, Over the Rainbow, All I ask of You, and Smile. If you care to know All I ask of You is from Phantom of the Opera. I love classical crossover. I hear it sometimes. Most of the time I hear smooth jazz on accuradio.

What I am so excited to see is the movie Straight Outta Compton. It is about the lives of the rap/hip-hop group N.W.A. I have their music and really do love their songs.

Well, my day was awesome! I hope all of you has had an awesome day today. Right now I am off to sleep because it’s late.

Music Review: Song: “Shake It Off” By Taylor Swift

If you want to forget about the jerks that ruined your life and is still affecting you. Listen to this song called “Shake It Off”. The perfect song for anyone who got you under their skin. It tells you completely about the mean things bad people have done to you. Just simply shake it off and forget it. This song is entertaining this way. You could hear it and have fun with it, while you forget about your past troubled lives you’ve had before, and simply laugh about it. If you can’t forget about the trickery from the dirty cheats of the world listen to this song, so you can completely erase those awful feelings, and leave the jerks in the dust. A perfect cure for the day to live happy without creating any problems. Shake off the negative pasts in this song.

I am busy this year with my grammar. This month is all about my online class. I am focused on learning on how to write fantasy novels, which is my next course. I walk everyday. I intend to lift weights and do abdominals this week. I was thinking about the history of ancient times. The show ancient aliens is interesting to me. I like the way of how these aliens used to be here in our ancient times. I write about ghosts and feel like am an expert on the field. Before I haven’t ever felt like that. I knew that you can’t see them, and they’re in another dimension. Bit by bit I am learning something new of grammar. I intend to read the newspaper today and read books.

Today I was reading the novel The Heist by Janet Evanovich.

I went to take a walk in the morning with dad. It was relaxing. I get to see a cat and my neighbors. I tell them hello and they answer back. We talked for a while during our exercise walk. I don’t feel worrisome at all. I feel relieved that I am happy for my life.

My writing has improved, which in my last fantasy short story has proved dividends. I don’t see yet myself writing a novel in the present. It takes a lot of hard work, passion, and determination. I have all those categories. I don’t tense myself because of it, and that I am not a professional just yet. I know I will be. I am patient. I am studying day-by-day.

Don’t ever let your mind trick you in any way that is false reality. If you do it is voodoo for you in an awful way. Listen to yourself and your family’s advices. Believe me it is better this way. In this way you’ll enjoy life much more than others.

Today there is a storm in Miami. I am at home with my parents. I hear lightning several times while I was before at my sister’s home taking care of my nephew.

I intend to read the grammar book. I feel comfortable with it and love it. I get to study verbs, nouns, adverbs, apostrophes, and etc. I feel like I am mastering some of it. The most I understand is the possessive nouns and possessive pronouns. Most people don’t want to study grammar, and can understand why. It is way more difficult. I am used to it. It just needs more time for my mind to fully be familiar with it once I write sentences and paragraphs.

I always walk a mile around the neighborhood everyday.

I was practicing my grammar. Most of the things are confusing to me. I will get the hang of it eventually. I think I understand it. I’ve read a small portion of the grammar book in about two chapters. I think there are like 24 chapters in there. It is enough to read, but will be more newer stuff added to it. New versions of grammar come every year. It is much difficult and confusing, but studying the small things won’t be that too hard.

I was still reading The Heist and am halfway towards it.

I think I will lift weights today. I thought of not doing it today to take a one day rest, but I will do the abdominals and weights this day.

I am starting to love grammar. I know that most people hate grammar, but am one of the few who do love it. Everybody’s different. I respect that. Next month I will be busy with the online class. This is the best day for me to think about what to organize.

I will stop writing now. The next post we will be meeting again. Till now I will exercise and lift weights.

I have been practicing my grammar and took out the old class files, which I took grammar from. I haven’t looked at it yet. I was thinking also of practicing through my files, which at this time I am reading my grammar book. I took all the documents from my old writing classes from 2010 to now. I have a huge set of class writing files. Grammar is the one I will be studying again. My grammar isn’t all that great, but it is another start. Right now I am in common nouns, verbs, and apostrophes. I know now what are possessive nouns. I am starting to understand, which before I didn’t it was all Chinese to me before. I am surprised that I passed the Grammar Refresher class in 2011, and am proud of my effort. I will give the re-studying by myself a “Go!”. I think this is the much better process for me as a writer.

Be Healthy and Happy for the rest of the year!

Most of you should be happy for the things you already have. I am enjoying life and am happy. This year will be gone within days, weeks, and months real fast. It will feel as if you’ve spent it in seconds. You won’t even realize the things you have done. :Be happy and healthy, because life is short and you only get to live it once. Right now I am practicing grammar, but am doing activities this year. You should be thankful for God that you have family with you. There are other people who are less fortunate than you. Stay positive and enjoy life is all I could say. Enjoy what this year is offering you.

I have finished seeing The Fabric of the Cosmos, and yesterday I have began to watch it again to the first episode again. I want the cosmos for me to make sense. The ideas and information are all blurry for me. I know some of the stuff, but want to understand it all.

The movies I want to watch is Southpaw and Trainwreck, which I’ve heard those are pretty good films. But, until they come on DVD.

I have walked a mile around the neighborhood with my dad today. I will lift weights and do abdominals later this day. I am suddenly used to doing exercise and actually do love it.

I was reading Mr. Mercedes yesterday and today. I am liking Stephen King’s novel. I want to read Paper Towns by John Green. I have read the book The Craft for research. I am getting the grasp of the writing craft, which isn’t real easy to do. I seem to grab it quickly, but have much to learn from it.

I love Taylor Swift’s new album, and it is the best of hers I’ve heard so far. A sad day yesterday in the news that Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobby Christina Brown has died at age 22. My condolences to her family and friends. She is at peace with her mom and God in Heaven. No one yet knows the cause of her death and is under investigation at this time. R.I.P., Bobbie Christina Brown

I keep thinking of what else I should write, but end up with nothing. I think by starting thinking of nothing we come up to the idea of writing something. This works some of the time. I am organizing my mind on writing this week. I was thinking of practicing my grammar. It isn’t all that perfect. Grammar is the toughest subject to conquer, but it’s doable.
