RE: Tarot Tuesday weekly reading for August 13th 2019
The book recommendation? It won't likely do much for you - you could write the book, and a better one at that. And what's this about your FIRST mention, not just A mention, in the NYTimes? Tell us more!
Here's a great opener to a story:
I was a boss of many, making money, with a good reputation, and the world at my feet. Until....
From infancy I was indoctrinated with "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble..." but now it seems Steemit is our refuge and strength!
You make a very compelling point: we tend not to ask for help. But if we ask for it, we usually receive it. Some people hit up others for help all the time. Routinely. "No man is an island," but a lot of mothers seem to be.
Wishing you many helping hands and an excess of energy, time, fortitude, and good cheer!
My secret past life as a restaurateur, now I'm a nobody! I'm happier as a nobody - fewer people expecting me to do things for them.
I think about writing about my past as a somebody, but the thought makes me very tired so I don't. Blech.
I'm happier as a nobody - fewer people expecting me to do things for them.
Well, here again, you have an excellent opening line for a story. Or a line of dialogue in a story. Just in every-day conversation, you keep tossing out these gems. That's how I recognize a natural writer, like @goat-girlz, @my-job, everyone...
Fiction
is the way to write about the past, in my opinion. Label it memoir, I won't even glance at it, but tell the assorted glorious or sordid truths in the guise of fiction, and I'll devour it...
