If only time could stand still and when it resumes the slate would be clear...If only your words to the greater powers could happen our world would be a better place.

In response to "Holiday traffic "

It's not hot here but I agree about reasonable people changing into sadists when it comes to parking spaces. It's insane during the holidays.

In response to "Keep on trying."

I hear you! I do my best to do things well enough and I keep at them, but I'm not going to kill myself because if keeping at something useless, the effort I put in is useless. When I realize that I quit.
I admire what you did with the fish pond and it made me smile. And to think that you did it in one day! Wow!

In response to "Capital punishment "

The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.

In response to "Texting "

I think texting is detrimental to our communication skills because so many people use emoticons and abbreviations that when it comes to actual conversations they've forgotten how to use words. It drives me crazy when my granddaughters are texting while we're trying to have an actual conversation. I've said on more than one occasion what is it going to take to have your undivided attention. In my home, cell phones are shut off between 5:00-7:00 for family interaction time.

Hello hello

Prompt: Do you ever write stories just using dialogue? Write about this in your Blog entry today.

I love writing dialogue. One of my favourite contests is Dialogue 500. It gives me the freedom from writing dialogue tags. It leaves it up to the reader to imagine what each character is doing as they speak or how their words are portraying emotions. There are ways of informing without tags by questions such as “ Why are you crying?”
Or “why has your face gone that colour? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Dialogue is so much better than an info dump, it can tell the story in a more informative and interesting manner.
I’m tempted here to give an example of one of the five hundred word limit entries into the dialogue contest. The prompts are usually whacky and way out which is usually hilarious.
