I Am Trying Something New!

Posted byTime Traveler of LifePosted inUncategorized

This is scary! I should NEVER allow my brain this kind of freedom! I am a left-handed Gemini, and we all need keepers! After you read this, you might agree.

First, let me say, I abhor anachronisms! It pisses me off to have to think for 20 minutes, what they mean! My typing skills are not in the same category as a racehorse, and recovery from a stroke took my speed away, but I can still type. I will use emoji’s, but want some that can be used to show the average person’s real feelings!

And speaking of emojis! When someone takes the time to type a thoughtful piece about the world and its condition, would it take too much of your valuable time actually to type something back to them? Be it good or bad! They will appreciate a few words a hundred times more than a quick, thoughtless emoji for ‘like or love’! I will admit that sometimes, I skim read if the piece looks like a hundred pages long.

Enough of that! Does anyone want to weigh in on the latest lunacy of our pseudo-government? When did we, the people, authorize the President to start a war? Didn’t the WAR have to be approved by Congress? And why bomb places where the nuclear preparations have been moved?

Another thing is, why do we keep trying to grow our vegetables at home when we know the only way is to have an air-conditioned greenhouse or be a mega-farmer with access to mega gallons of water? At 100 degrees, everything I plant cooks before it sprouts!

My last thought for today is: read your labels on all those “ever so easy” packaged goods! If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it! Read the labels! Many of those additions are only to allow them to be shipped across the country or ocean, and be stored in a warehouse until ordered. Cooking is not a dirty word. You might want to look up “Natural” and “Organic” before you spend more for less!

Okay, commercial time! I am a writer, and I love to read other authors’ books! I publish with Draft2Digital and my books are distributed to the following: Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Everand, Smashwords, Tolino OverDrive, bibliotheca, Baker & Taylor, BorrowBox, Hoopla, Vivlio, Palace  Marketplace, Odilo, Gardners, Amazon, and they are on my website, http://www.brendacolbathbooks.com

Have a wonderful day! Thank you for reading my blog, and I will talk to you again later!

Biography Creating worlds, characters, and wielding power like a madwoman, making my characters happy, sad, angry, and some of them with no redeeming qualities. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I sometimes laugh out loud when I am writing a scene, and I have been known to cry when one of my favorites has to die. I am a left-handed Gemini, what do you expect? Reading bedtime stories to my two children until they fell asleep or until they just told me to go away, was fun. Making up wild stories for my grandchild, and creating Halloween costumes from Cowboys to a Dragon, was another favorite thing to do. I missed that so much when they were grown, that I started writing. My yearly newsletters frequently were drafted third-person by my Love Birds, Miranda our motorhome, and by Sir Fit the White Knight, our faithful Honda. Throughout the years, some of my creative talents centered around writing letters of complaint expressing my displeasure with services or products. One crucial, at least to my Son, was a note to our local school bus driver petitioning her to allow him back on the bus. He was kicked off for making an obscene gesture at his buddy. I reminded her that it was not directed at her, and that “obscenity can be in the eye of the beholder,” kids use that gesture as a greeting. He rode the bus until he graduated. I loved driving my English teacher crazy. Leaving a “continued next week” at the end of my five handwritten pages required each week. He was one of many people that suggested I “do something about my writing.” I graduated from the School of Hard Knocks at the top of my class. After 30 years, in the trenches as a Real Estate Professional, I have found that truth is stranger than fiction. My books are filled with characters I met in that profession. Their names were changed to protect the guilty. Others were from people we met traveling around the country in Miranda, our Motorhome. I am married nearly 60 years to the love of my life, Shirl, and partner-produced two exceptionally talented children, and one grandchild who is our pride and joy.
