Love it! In fact I like that look. Here in AZ my feet would get really sweaty if I wore those all the time. Someone I write better if I'm mis-matched.

Ooooh! You are really there! I live in AZ where it reaches 115 degrees in the shade so gloves aren't a possibility. (Im afraid to ask if there ate underwear writers out there.) But I can get a clear…

We are kindred spirits! I'm into my socks too! Maybe it's a writer's thing! I have funny ones. My favorite ones are peach colored with red fake nails painted on them but I only take them out for spec…

Amy, thanks for the feedback. I see a lot of strange things here...including a contest at a nightclub to win a pair of boobs. Well, they can't give away one, can they? I often reflect on how my marching for womens' rights and attending consciousness…
Nice to run into you here @ She Writes! I would love to have a lip reading since I have always been blessed with "snake lips." If I ever had them plumped, I'd look the fool. (Or at least a close facsimile to The Incredible Mr. Limpet.) Keep up the g…
I've said for a long time I'm not crazy enough to be a writer. I didn't say i wasn't crazy. Just not enough.
My favorite news article this week.: Viagra effects hearing. What?
I wrote a whole satire on this subject! BOOMERANG--WHEN LIFE COMES BACK to BITE YOU is based on a number of friends who thought they were "empty nesters" and had their lives intensified when their offspring returned. I'm very interested in this topi…
I'm big on putting what you want out in the Universe.
You're obviously a very talented writer.
I have a feminism theme running through most of what i write. If only they'd let us rule the world...
Kathleen, I read your post and every link! Thank you so much! Great information. And I' partial to lists. I'm very impressed. Wish I could have been there. I'm going to send it out to everyone in my Erma Bombeck group. And can I share my fantasy? Th…
As a former English teacher I am very amused by irony: the "Octomom" is speaking out about spaying and neutering pets.
Welcome, Molly! This is too much fun! And I've already linked to you in my blog this week!
Baby boomer are special b/c we've seen it all! Fifty years today since they introduced The Pill! How has that changed our lives?! I remember girls lining up at the one water fountain in our dorm hall at Fla. State to take their pill" every night. Ho…

Only in our fair city will you find society photos of two beautiful blonds who still have smile lines at an event called "Botox and Baubles." A local med spa raised funds for charity and featured the lovelies where I'm sure the raffle tickets earned a prize of a fresh vial of the injectable. Botox is big business in Scottsdale so the hint that it might create a tax sent my friends, April and Glee, apopleptic. That idea is moot now because they're going to pick on tanning salo… Continue

Marsha Victor said… - Bonjour Marcia,
C'est dommage très chère ! I've just returned from "La Ville-Lumière" ( with friends & family ). Heading out to the U.S. for a few weeks and then Australia ( also have relatives ). Summer is always busy for me, in a nice kind of relaxing way. Then it's back into Euro Time and new projects ( settled in London ). Will definately keep up to date :-) Sincerely ( the other Marsha )

Nancy Duci Denofio said… - Marcia - I understand and with my writing it's the voices of my grandmother, mother, father and myself that throw me. But, I began again, and I will try to post some of it for comments. Thanks again Marcia. You know, I feel so confident in other forms of writing, but perhaps I am more concerned since it is about so many people, all mixed together.

- Your so kind. I have pages after pages written. Perhaps, here on a blog I can add what I believe might be the beginning, and continue. I get totally mixed up after 1924! From 1892 - 1924 I am doing fine! Does this group have your own blog, or is it a community blog? Being new, I am learning. Thanks again!

- Do you really believe that? I see it in front of me, and I can tell it as a story, but something is holding me back, perhaps because it is real, and family. It is more then what I told you, my Dad who grew up not wanting to go to dances, date, etc. because they were on what was known as Welfare, which did not exist at the time, walked past city hall with his mother, to receive flour and blankets. And in 1970 he ended up Mayor of that City. What an ending. I would really like to pitch this story with all the details, but I have no idea how to do it. It is real, It is life. And perhaps someone here has some ideas for me. Thanks, and lets talk again!!!!

- How wonderful, it sounds like you were very close to your Grandmother likr I cherished mine. Her ways, being Sicilian, and my mother, being Irish - living in the same house made for a great life of story telling. In my little head as a child, I stored all kinds of information and never knew one day I would be telling others - how it was we grew! I am proud of you and all that you do. I hope one day I can tell this amazing story, of the courage a woman had to go on after her child dies, and then her husband is stabbed in the heart, she fights for the help from the company where he worked, and the man who agreed to help her, who worked with my grandfather, was blown up in Syracuse NY where the high court use to be in the thirties. Oh the story has many twists and turns but I have always seen it, heard it, felt it, as if it were a movie. Perhaps this is why I am having a hard time - I think I have rewritten it three times. But my other writing is natural, and flows. The only other thing I do now is write because I love to share work, and oil painting, it relaxes me. So, you have some great things under your belt - and more to come I am sure!!! I hope we stay in touch! Sincerely Nancy

- Writing prose and poetry comes natural. I do enjoy the research related to historical writing. I have been writing about 1892 immigrants who were family, entering this country, and the details are the best part. I was so lucky to have my grandmother until she was 95, and she lived upstairs until I was off at school, and I took notes when we visited, always writing about her life, and I learned so much. I always loved to write about the things that are real - perhaps writing poetry is my way of writing a memoir.

Donna Tagliaferri said… - sometimes when you start to read a writer's page/blog/comments, don't you just feel like you squeezed in at the table where great conversations were occurring?
I do....except I can't sit at the big kid's table yet...my little card table is OK for now.

Maureen said… - Hi Marcia,
Gosh, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. No, my daughter and I aren't competitive. She's strong in different areas. I maintain that she's a much better screenwriter and playwright than I am. I'm better at prose. She's a very funny writer, and that comes across in her stage directions in both playwriting and screenwriting.
Again, sorry it took me so long to get back to you.
Maureen

ladies.........all fabulous, kept me reading and wanting more.
Since I write more of the romantic type of novels, looks are important for my characters. I come up with their look various ways. I envision what they should look like, and write their attributes down, or I use pictures of people I clip from magazin…
My cousin, Em, doesn't see it. She sees a plain face, limp hair, fat rolls, etc. But to me she's beautiful, and maybe I'm biased, but she's the most beautiful woman I've ever known or seen. It's because she's the sister I never had, my sister in Chr…
