Jacob's Message

David loved watching old episodes of the 1960s sitcom Gilligan's Island with his dad. Ginger was beautiful but Mary Ann, well, he wanted to marry her! She was so pretty, so sweet and kind. Who would have thought one of those characters would have served as a role model for what he wanted to be when he grew up. Not a ship mate or a ship captain, not a movie star or even a millionaire. No, he wanted to be a Professor. The professor was admired, smart, handsome, well dressed, and always seemed to be doing some kind of research. He ...

Outstanding reviews

Awww. This is so sweet. Children have a way of showing us what's important, that is for sure. Relationships first, absolutely. It is hard because when we become parents, we are still ourselves. We have goals and want to accomplish them and sometimes that can feel selfish. But it is all about balance. 60+ hours a week, now that's a little out of balance. Glad this dad is realizing that.
Thank you for reading my story! I first spent a couple of hours researching professors. That was enligtening. I started it on Friday at my kitchen table and then headed to a coffee shop to finish. 7 hours was how long i wasin the coffee shop.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who writes for hours in coffee shops!
2 coffees, a hot chocolate, lunch, bagel with peanut butter .. and a relocation to a different table when the sun started to shine through the window. Fun day !
Do you 1st put your story in a template ? I don't but I think I might create one. It helps me to jot down the flow and then fill in the details. I am new at this
I don't use a template. I usually just open a blank word document and go. Sometimes I know what the flow of the story will look like, and sometimes I'm just rambling based off one or two opening lines. I, unfortunately, don't have large chunks of time with picking up my kiddo and work and things, so I usually write it in fragments. But I actually find it helpful to leave a piece for some time and come back to it and see where it goes. It's fun to experiment with different styles and structures, too.
