Critique & Review

Why am I here?
I've always wondered that question. I've never found the answer. the reason is obscure, unclear as to why my life has played out this way, why I live in this neighborhood, why we live in a house that's falling apart, why my family is as it is.
But, before I begin my story, I guess that I must tell you about myself. I love to do ballet. I'm the good child in my family. I'm a Christian. I'm smart. I'm one of the quietest people you will ever meet. I wear worn denim jeans on one-hundred degree days in the summer and fifteen degree days in the winter. I'm a writer. I don't consider myself pretty. I am the person who seems to have all the confidence in the world, yet feels none of it. I am the person you would never think to pay attention to.

I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put if back again.

Iv'e often wondered if I would be a different person, if I had grown up in a different background and environment.
My first husband amounts success with money, now he is loaded and frantically wondering what he can spend his money on.
My second husband, (married to him nearly 30 yrs), believes in using your skills and see where they take you.
He is very supportive of all the things I have undertaken. We are not rich as far as money, but rich in sharing each others ideals.
You seem to have figured out, who you are, and what you want. It takes some people all their lives to find that out. Some never do. :)

The Zing Thing: "The Makeover."

'Southern Scriber.'

It sounds like you found the right guy in the end, Gaye. *waves to Stan*.

No Excuses. Just Write.

joelle, I guessing that is an introduction to a piece you wrote. It certainly makes me want to read more into the mind of your character.

Gaye, glad you got your man in the end. Of course, I'm still hoping to find the woman for me but gee, sometimes it just seems like it's not going to happen. I'll use you as inspiration that someone for me is still out there :-)

I also agree with you that sharing time, thoughts, experiences and skills is something I think is important, whether that's with someone special or a wider community.

Its a bit like the cheese ad on TV Andy, "sometimes it takes a little time'

I wondered afterward if Joelle was telling a story, silly me, sounds great so far.

The Zing Thing: "The Makeover."

'Southern Scriber.'

Thanks guys. This started off as a little tanget; I was bored in my mixed chorus class. I personally thought it sucked until my one really, really nosy friend started going through my French notebook and came across it. She told me it was pretty good, but she is the only person that I'll show my work to...

Well Joelle, I thought it was you that you were describing, especially the bit about being a writer.
You could have that girl, living a pretty ordainary life get up to all sorts of adventures. :)

After I posted the exerpt and logged off, I realized that the snippet could be taken that way.
As for putting my character in adventurous situations, I'm following her lead. I'll post some more of the story soon.
