Baby it's cold outside!

Okay, so it has definitely gotten chillier out. I think the precipitation was somewhere in between rain and snow. Boo. Bought a new book today, by Laurie Notaro. I enjoy her writing style so I am hoping this will lend me some insight on how I want to write my collection of short stories. I said anyone can prob write down little bits of their life onto a piece of paper, but it is how you write it that is most important (obviously). So my hope is to find my own writing style, and I think for the most part I have a type of writing style, think it started back in 7th/8th grade, when Mrs. Bowman would write comments on my papers, that what I wrote was good, but my style was not good for formal papers, but perhaps later when I am just writing to write. So I have my fingers crossed. Plus it helps to be kind of reading more than I had been in the last few years. Sure I had to read books for English/Literature classes, but I didn't focus enough on them. I was just concerned about finding the main themes so I could write B.S. papers about them at the last minute and get A's (I was quite lucky back then). So I missed out on quite a bit. Plus right now it seems that I am at a good point in my life to really be working on character sketches. Like I know so many ppl right now, whether they are acquaintances, best friends, good friends, or just friends in general. Plus my family. Everyone surrounding me will make for a good character in some sort of story. Anywho...time to take the trash out and browse through a few cookbooks, or foodnetwork.com to figure out what I want to make for dinner.

Laters!
