Questions for Discussion and Writing

1. Lamott writes, “The first draft is the child’s draft, where you let it all pour out and the let it romp all over the place.”

- In what ways does this describe your first-draft writing?

This quote describes a first draft writing by saying, you know what it’s ok for your first draft to make no sense at all. It’s perfectly fine that your first draft is all over the place, and has no rhyme or reason. The quote lays it all down on the line for everyone to realize that you have a first draft for reason and to use it all to your advantage. Take that time to right every thought going on in your head, and maybe just maybe in the mess of your first draft will there be something amazing just waiting for you.

- In what ways does it differ?

Honestly, I don’t think it differs at all. I completely agree with Lamott’s quote. I believe that your first should be a huge mixture of everything, and then from there narrow your results down.

- To what would you compare your first drafts?

I would like to compare my first drafts to a child eating ice cream on a hot day! The sun is beating on the ice cream, with the ice cream melting all over the child, but the child is trying so hard eat before it all melts, and yet they enjoyed every moment of the ice cream. So even though eating the ice creaming was messy and it got all over them, the process was worth it, and they got to eat yummy ice cream! Just like writing a first draft, it will be messy at first but in the end it was worth, and you came out with a great essay! J

God's Creation

God's creation absolutely amazes me.

I love how something so simple as the sun setting can completely melt your heart.

As I was watching the sun set last night,this calmness just flowed over me. This feeling of every things going to be ok, and the big man up stairs is watching over you.. It was like God was just holding me. The moment was mine, and nobody could take it away. That small moment was enough for me to let everything go, and just be still. To let everything around me complete leave my body, and hand it over to God... It was a moment that was very needed, and I loved every single second of it! I don't know how God dose it, but his plan is perfect, and last night I was right where I needed to be. The sun set was perfect, and beautiful in every way.

Drinking.

Why do people drink? Why do people intently get drunk just to get drunk? What is the purpose of drinking when you know good and well that when you get drunk you get angry.

I grew up with my father drinking, and using that as a way to escape. So in my eyes drinking is not fun, drinking is not a game, and drinking is not something you do to just relax a little ..

Drinking is not worth it, and it always seems to bring the worst out in everyone, and yet people around the world still get drunk every single day. People still drink even when they know that they have a family at home waiting on them. People still drink when they know that they get angry and do and say things that they would never EVER do sober.

... ..

Drinking is so not worth it all. Not even a drink. You don't need to drink to have fun. You don't need to drink to relax. Find other outlet for your problems. You know..

just a little something to get off my chest. ...

Drinking is just SO NOT WORTH IT.

It's not worth your family, or a life. ....

It's just not. Get over it people!..

Rough Day ...

Seconds hours so many days

You know what you want but how long can you wait

Every moment last forever if you feel you've lost your way

What if your chances are already gone

Started believing that I could be wrong

But you give me one good reason

To fight and never walk away

- Kris Allen

I feel very alone today. My best friend, boyfriend, life, everything moved down to college station last week and left me here to suffer. Ok, well not suffer per say, but he left me here! Best friends of eight years now going strong. Travis has been by my side for everything in my life. He has seen the best of times and worst of times. I love him more than anything, and I can't imagine in not in my life.

It's so weird to have been with some one for so long, and seeing them everyday to not seeing them at all. Of course I have talked to him on the phone, and over Skype, but it's just not the same. I miss his smile, and his touch, and his sense of humor. I could use a good laugh right now and he would be the perfect person to cheer me up!

I just want to be selfish and have him come home EVERY weekend, just so we can have our time together back! But the other side of me wants me to happy for him, and the new chapter of life he is starting.

I know we can do this, and come out with a stronger and happier relationship... in the end. I love us , and I love our relationship, and know that God has put this on us for a reason!

I just can't wait for him to be home, and back with me!

I love you Travis Rose. :]

Over thinking.

I have started and re started this blog a million times. I think I have something interesting but once I re-read it, it sounds…. well retarded! It’s like I’m trying so hard to make this perfect, that I can’t just write about something simple. Over thinking things is a fault of mine! I can never seem to just do something. I like to beat things to the ground until I feel like I have weighed out every option and have made the perfect choice! Like this blog for an example. I was told to just write, not write a book or a story, but to blog about anything! .... My little voice in side me is telling me to LET GO LET GO!

My history book is sitting right next to me, and chapter one is calling my name. Off to study I go!

:]
