The School Story (B 16)

Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of books I've read recently; let's jump right in.

I received this book from one of my co-workers at Chuck's Ace Hardware in Pineville Louisiana. He said that he gave it to me because it was a book about a writer and he felt that even though it was a young adult book I would draw some inspiration from it and I surly did. I enjoyed this story cover to cover and would recommend any aspiring writer or anyone for that matter to give this book a read it is worth it!

Author: Andrew Clements, Illustrated By Brian Selznick

Title: The School Story

Main Characters: Natalie Nelson, the writer, and Zoe Reisman, her best friend

Setting: This story takes place in New York City

Plot: This story was about two elementary school girls that took on the dream to become a published author.

Personal Endorsement: This was a really good book and it shows what can happen when people have support within their dreams. It shows the power of friendship without jealousy or envy. It also shows the power of focus and what can happen when one doesn't give up on whatever project they are working on. At the end of the day it does seem like a lot of what a person can accomplish is due to who a person knows. If these young ladies didn't have some of the people in their lives who supported them things wouldn't have been able to happen the way that they did.

Finding Self PT 10 (Watch Me Flow)

After the injury everything changed. Being laid up like that with no help. I had to hobble to the market only to be ran over by crowds of people that I couldn't keep up with. Being left by the Lyft because the driver couldn't figure out how to come around the corner. Just feeling helpless, abandoned and stranded. Feelings like this will put things in a different perspective really fast. Some people out there have major support and people around to help when things get tough and some people simply just don't. For me I'm one of the one's that don't but I find that strangers are always kinder to me than my own family who is by society's standards supposed to be our first safety net & supporters. N-E-how being laid up like that and alone I had more uninterrupted time to think than I ever did in my life. Self reflection questions that I never even thought of started to pop into my mind. The first one was career wise. The question was ...

A Recovery Love Story

Thank you Cliff for allowing me to write the love story of you & your Beautiful wife! I found this just tear jerking ❤️ There was a time in my life when my one true love was wine and spirits. I mean I knew drinking wasn't good for me & I played around with the thought of stopping every once in a while, but never enough for anything to stick. I wasn't the AA type of guy, I didn't feel the need to express my problems with a group of people. I didn't think that would be my route to recovery if I ever decided to stop. What I didn't know was that I was right. One day I was driving, on my way to take myself fishing. I had a 12 pack of Bud Light in my ice chest in the trunk. As I was driving I couldn't wait to pop a can open & feel that cold refreshing taste. As I drove I passed a church tent revival. I slowed down for no particular reason & laughed to myself. I guess I caught them in a moment. Watching them as they were run...
