writing

I started reading a novel... just light summer reading. It's called First Love, but it's about ballet mostly. On page 12 I got to a sentence that I thought was SOOOOO bad, I know I'm not going to read much more of this. Here it is: "And at this knowledge, Sandra felt the lip of a great hopelessness kiss at her."

Yesterday I was telling Ariel stories to try to take her mind off her pain and help her go to sleep (it was 1 a.m.) and one of the stories I was telling her was a version of one told to me by my grandmother. It reminded me that I have always wanted to write a story, in which this story from my grandmother is featured, as well as other memories of her. I might just start working on that story...
