THINGS THAT MAKE YA WANNA HOLLAR

Blah Blah Blah Blaaahg

When I first found out about Blogger I was so excited. Finally my passion for writing had found a place where I could express my talent and possibly experience a following. I wrote to family and friends across the country and asked for their support. I got it too!

So why blah blah blaaahg? What makes me wanna hollar? Myself! If anyone out there can help me figure out why it is soooooo difficult to stay motivated let me know. Yeah I have life stresses and things get really overwhelming sometimes. But I bet there are hundreds of thousands of people just like me out there, stressed to their limit but still determined to stay on the grind for their dream.

What makes a winner a winner. Is it as simple as the Nike commercial...."Just do it"?

I wonder.

For all of you out there doin your thing....I have mad respect for you. Whatever it is...the fact that you are going after it is a talent in itself. You go!

So today I am going to try to recommit myself to this again. Practice my art...write.

I am sending off a book to publishing houses that I wrote after 9/11 when my then 3 year old grand daughter asked, what is an American.

I think 6 years later we are hated more across the world than ever and this book is as timely as ever.

It is titled, "American Like Me". The story of a young girl who discovers the beauty and wonder of herself and the diverse neighborhood she lives in.

Wish me luck, send me warm and positive thoughts and pray that I keep trying to just do it!
