Brainstorming

As I was lying on my bed this morning. I was thinking about my commitment to the challenge of writing everyday. I thought of writing about something for my children, and about something that will keep teaching me, and my children for ever. While I was thinking about that, a lot of  ideas came to my mind and, voilá, my brainstorming began!

However,  Nothing sounded interesting to me. Everything seemed boring. This always happens to me, and for this reason, I couldn’t keep up with my “post a Day” challenge in 2011.

It would make me very sad if it happens to me again. Then…the light came! You see, I am originally from Argentina. I have always told stories about my home country to my kids; my own father is a story teller himself, and I remember him telling stories to us about family members and events in Argentina. I have always enjoyed them. I  enjoy preserving family history in a special way.  Last month we have declared Arts and Crafts Fridays as part of  our homeschool  curriculum, and it has been great!  It really inspired me in so many ways.

I think it is very important to keep personal stories, and stories of the place you grew up, alive. I hope I don’t bore you to death and you want to keep coming back for more! I is my hope you enjoy my facts mixed with fantasy about the country to which I own, the respect of knowing its history and part of who I am =i=

Writing Honestly

Writing Honestly is after all something that I have always wanted to do. This is why; I still keep trying this fascinating craft. I find myself writing, and re-writing, editing, and never publishing. This article really struck me, as I read it, it seems that the writer knew me deep inside!

I am all about doing the challenge this year more than before. English is my second language, but the idea of practicing it right always fascinated me . My husband and children are from North America, and my desire to learn it is great. I am a homeschool mother and we spend a lot of our time working on grammar and writing.

As I write on my blog this morning, I am constantly thinking about “writing honestly” I truly need to stop myself from thinking negatively, it is really and exercise, like any other exercise; it is amazing! It is my hope to keep writing honestly and someday my words would come very articulated and in a gracious way. I hope =i=

NaNoWriMo

Back in November 2011, my children and I, began a journey like never before, “writingly” speaking of course. We wrote our first novel, I couldn’t update here because life’s circumstances at the time, would not let me achieve that goal.  I was finishing my writings somewhere else.

Writing to me is like breathing, I do it everyday, everywhere, without even notice it. I am always around some time of project that involves the craft.

It is not always easy, I wish my words would come so easy like water flows in the river. Once, I read that the only way to really get the river effect is, in fact, to practice. My kids’ printed book are here, mine is on its way and cannot wait to see my first copy. I feel like it is a great responsibility and I am nervously waiting for it. My children are awesome. I learn so much from them! My daughter is involved in another novel-writing project, I will continue my writing journey in another direction, until, November comes again and I will take the challenge for the second time!=i=
