A Book Nerd's Inner Voices

by C.N. Greer

Rated: E · Book · Career · #1959122

Not that you need to enter my crazy mind, but here you go anyway. Enjoy!

A personal journal about the crazy life of a writer, a mom, and an avid reader (sometimes I even feel like one person). I can't promise this will be organized or even stick to one topic, but I can tell you it will chronicle my efforts to get back into the writing community and build up my career. Thanks for reading, it's great to have you here. Feel free to reach out!

In response to "Decide."

Have you ever read "The Traveler's Gift" by Andy Andrews? Sounds like something he would have said. Anyway, I love your statement and it rings true. Learn from your past, don't live in it.

In response to "Soul mates"

I think there are soul mates. I feel confused about it at times. My first wife was a soul mate for a while. I have friends I have known for years that could be called soul mates of a different kind, something I never thought about till I read your piece. I have trouble with trusting. How do you even know that someone makes the grade or not. It sounds like a lifetime task.

Thank you. I try to stay positive. Even when I want to throw things. ;)

I have great admiration to all who have completed novels! And I love your attitude and that you share that with your daughter

In response to "Tiny Terrorists"

Aw, it does get better. My son had serious 'terrible twos' but they didn't continue on much past that age. For him it was primarily about wanting to be independent, but not being old enough to. He would throw tantrums because he wanted to drive the car, make his own sandwich or pour his own juice...at age two.

My daughter was a little different. She didn't restrict her tantrums to age two. She is still a drama queen at age eight, BUT (don't panic just yet, I said it gets better!) her 'tantrums' are not as explosive and she can be reasoned with. The difficult times are also much less frequent. Oh yeah, she's still a drama queen and can slam a door with the best of them, but it's a long way from what you're dealing with, and as a mother you find new ways of dealing with it. Now I am able to give her time out until she is calm, then reason with her. I am also able to see the 'whys' behind her behaviour - through experience (eg she's tired) or because she can vocalise her thoughts and feelings.

It does get better. Honest. Keep calm, and carry on, as the slogan says.

So true!

The people come and goes. One day they are your friend, and the next you know they are uncomfortable in your presence.
