I found this at the shop and have been madly reading it. It's so good, more adventures of the YaYa sisters. I am going to start calling my mom and her sisters the YaYa's because they're as nutty as Vivian and her friends and I do have some good childhood memories, like Siddalee. I remember my Aunt Mary was married to this guy named Wick. Stupid name. Anyway, Wick turned out to be a real asshole and the sisters made up this song "Wick, Wick, Wick, you look like shit on a stick." It was great and us kids were allowed to sing along because they hated him so much. We used to march to it and I always had a baton. The sisters were always happy when one of them got a divorce and they could all hate on some man. Personally, I didn't know him well, I was told he hated kids. Which was too bad for him. Ahh, that's a good memory. YaYa's.And sorry to any cousins who reads here if Wick is your daddy. I don't remember who alls daddy is who's anymore. As you know, daddys were not real important to the Iowa YaYa's. I'm real lucky I know who my own daddy was...the sunoafabitch.

Damn it woman.... START WRITING THAT BOOK..... I'm sitting here just enjoying your writings...
Hey I put a comment.. and it poofed.... :(
LOL!
I gotcha, Nadine. I'm on moderation.
I LOVE Rebecca Wells. I have mentioned her before when bugging you about writing a book. Your styles are VERY similar. I think it's because you both put a lot of soul in what you say.
I have vowed to stop bugging you about writing so all I'll say is. I ECHO NADINE. echo....echo....echo...
Well, she she writes like she grew up next door to me. I can't relate to the Catholic part, but, the rest..yeah.
I tell ya Pat the, "Estrogen Caravan" is waiting for you to write it...I think you could do it with your eye's closed and never break a sweat because the writing comes so easy to you.
So, how do I start? Like, do I do the past first, mix it up? How?
Anyway that feels right for you. you could even start out with a collection of essays and then bring them together and flesh them out with narritive.
I think it would be so cool to start at present day like your're blogging with us and then work in all the essays of past events. It would be a very fresh idea as there aren't many books out there taken from a bloggers perspective. That would make it very appealing to publishers they're always looking for a new view!
I read that book too and I kind of liked it, but it drove me crazy that that the dialogue had no puncuation.
Start with the present and go back and forth.... for you it will be easy once you set your mind to doing it. The catholic part I'll coach you on hahahaha.... 12 years in catholic school makes for lots of stories hahaha
You and yer nuns. Gawd. They look like mean penguins to me.
