I couldn't write a book. Sigh. And friends have been pressing me to write one. I know they mean well but how can I, I do not have the patience to sit down and formulate a plot, let alone imagine a topic for a story. One friend...

eileenleyva Good, Now I am not alone. I have many books that need to be read, too. Let us just be the readers. Perhaps each time we finish one we could post criticisms here. What dya say?

eileenleyva @Lignitecityabishek96 Advise me when you get it done. I will wait though I do hope you work on it the coming year. One tip my Literature mentor told me: Write in intense heat and slash in cold blood. That means keep on writing till you finish. Then, close...

eileenleyva @TJGray I kinda like your father-child relationship. Parents are actually the best teachers. My other daughter, an Environmental Planner/Writer, just last week said she was following my example. However, I concede that she is the better writer...

eileenleyva @Janet357 A sad truth for us all human beings. Money seems to have taken over our dreams and ambitions. As you say, reality check, the bills are never ending and the subsistence budget is never enough, because the food becomes more expensive by the day. Ask...

eileenleyva Care to share your blog? And your dad's? My daughter actually introduced me to blogging, too. She was busy with her freshman college work some nine or ten years ago and I kept on talking to her, and she said I was pestering her, and so she logged me in on the...

eileenleyva I think India encourages its people to write. 3 Idiots, the movie, is a good story. Perhaps you could watch the movie and explore on stories people can relate. Sometimes, the stories of ordinary people are the meaningful ones. Best of luck. One request....

eileenleyva Ha ha. That is okay, though. Splurging for family on Christmas is what we live for, aside from our advocacy of course. Family keeps us sane and happy.

eileenleyva If I have my way, the 25th is for family, the 26th for school and company parties. The rest of the week,m everyone could sleep and wait in silence for the noise of New Year's Eve.

eileenleyva Most people are lost in the euphoria, over enjoying by wearing themed clothes, eating and drinking, dancing, giving gifts, when Christmas is supposed to be celebrating the Lord's humble birth.

eileenleyva Planted all the plants in my garden. Nope, not tailored to a template landscape. Mine is more like a jungle. Ha ha. Now I have thickets for the birds and the bees and the butterflies and the bugs.
