Which I thought both humbly and appreciative, "Wow, thank you Marc!" Who is currently residing over at Grains Of Sand (a wonderful journal I must add)
And then.........
Well~~ and then I thought, "Oh no, Holy *&*%$ (or something a bit like that) if I had known that little piece of info, would I have really tossed out a mental health admission yesterday, of the questionable variant for my second debut?"
Seriously, lets think about this. You met a person for the first time and they say "My name is Rebecca, I have a few screws loose, but pull up a chair, make yourself comfortable, randomness and zero predictability are likely to hold center stage here."
Marc, my dear friend. That was a good one. The no warning part.
*Gotcha style*
(smile)
And for those of you that come by these parts of their own free will, with full comprehension and understanding of the type of person I was before the Guest Editors picks.....well, you can't blame me!
~That's all I'm saying~
And if your new, well, I swear, it has never been proven that any harm or trauma has fallen a single visitor.
Yet.
I mean.
Ever.
Ah Oh, I'm in one of those writing moods. Sometimes I think maybe I have 'split personality writing style', if there is such a thing. I never know which I'll get when I sit down to a keyboard. As a prolific writer of the wanna-be who knows sort, this can create a problem at times. Which of course, is why I can explain the assortment of started, mid-way, finished and never gonna happen writings cluttering my hard drive. 'Nuff said.
Has anyone read any good books lately? Well, I haven't. Which I'm getting a wee bit tired of, to say the least. Why hath all the authors forsaken me... lately? If I have to skim another book out of sheer boredom I think I may just.....(complete the sentence in any way you see fit, as long as it includes fire, thank you)
Anyone? Anyone? Book recommendations always taken, embraced and savored like a fine piece of chocolate. Speak up, or forever hold your peace and good book. Please ~~
Fine print: I enjoy all genres. I am not prissy, nor chicken. Bring on the horror, the fantasy. I am not highbrow or low brow. (Although erotica sinks low enough I don't count it as actual literature, plus, I have children in the house here people) I'm not snobby or pretentious about my book picks. If Nora Roberts writes a good one, I'll read it and try to ignore the fact I think she has gremlins in her basement pounding out her 500 books per year. I'll read the Nobel prize winners, and the discount bin at Barnes and Noble. All standards have been burned with the last 10 books I've read.
P. S. I hold no recommendations personally accountable. Promise.
On the heavier side of life. I am finally justified (injustice!) in my earlier complaints about the snow. I spent the day taking a drive up to my cabin in the Mountains to get a good visual on the damage the snow pulled off this year. And let me say, Snow, is no longer my friend. We have split up, parted ways, flipped each other off rigorously and will forever be intolerable with one another. Snow, in all her merciless glory crushed in the entire roof of the garage. 4-wheelers, crushed. Camp Trailer, crushed. Should I go on?

Snow (laughing, hahaha) +20
It could have been worse. As always. And that fact, in a sad sort of way, helps. For me, it's a crushed roof and material items. But for others, who had something much worse happen today, my roof is nothing. That my friends is the truth and beauty of perspective.
It seems to me that in every single situation that has a person thinking 'why me,' a simple glance over thy shoulder provides all the perspective needed to assess reasonable reaction. I have never, ever, personally encountered a problem that I couldn't glance over my shoulder and say, "it could have been much worse."
I'm not sure if I'm ahead, or behind, or above or below, but I should probably just stop here. ( I feel that other writer in me sneaking out) Thank you Marc for several things. The element of surprise. The beautiful words you write in your own journal. The words you wrote about my journal. The writers you included me with.The gesture, from both yourself and Indigo the previous week, has not escaped my interior. Thank you..........

I highly recommend any book by Jodi Picoult. The first one that I read was "My Sister's Keeper," and I've been a fan ever since. Her website lists her works: http://www.jodipicoult.com/. If you haven't read "Atonement," it's also a great read. Just started an interesting novel by Stephen King, not really supernatural but a character study more like his earlier work, "Delores Claiborne." It's called "Lisey's Story."--Sheria

(((Rebecca))) I've popped over through your link in my sidebar. Seems AOsmells is having alert difficulties. Thank you for being just precious with your mail...keep looking. ;) I'll be back reading to catch up on you, but I wanted to wish you CONGRATS! on your "editorship"! I have to say, it's been a pleasure watching open up here...I won't say grow because, from what I see...you've grown WAY beyond most of us here, in so many ways.
(Give Old Snow one more chance!) ;) C.
