I would break into two sentences and change "had loved her and raised her" to either "loved her and raised her" or "had loved her and had raised her" (improper syntax). 2nd sentence, just sounds like a grocery list-too many commas and would probably stand to be reworked. Finally, the sentence "Kyle looked stunned and fearful for the last moment of Jaren's death." Its telling, not showing. I'm not getting the pathos that your other works have brought out. Overall, good... but like you said, rough draft. Am looking forward to seeing it polished upDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627914722447616191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5410000650930247850.post-70456797222982326272009-10-29T09:52:56.510-07:002009-10-29T09:52:56.510-07:00Hi, Leona!
Just stopping by to share a few thyroi...Hi, Leona!<br /><br />Just stopping by to share a few thyroid tricks I've learned over the years. Take selenium supplements every day, and avoid magnesium. If you can, eat foods high in the amino acid tyrosine, or take supplements. (Sunflower seeds are good for that -- I sprinkle them on my salads. Also cottage cheese has a good amount of tyrosine.) Pay attention to your body. You'll probably crave carbs for that quick elevation in body temp, but things like raw spinach might sharpen your mind better. Certain times in the month might be better or worse for you. You'll learn over time what helps and what hurts, but these are some of the things I've figured out.<br /><br />I get so mad at my doctor when he tells me thyroid conditions are easy to live with. They might be easier than other chronic problems, but there are still plenty of challenges. <br /><br />Good luck with nano!<br /><br />Theresa from EdittorrentEdittorrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295505709568570553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5410000650930247850.post-76535054188344066392009-10-27T14:34:45.581-07:002009-10-27T14:34:45.581-07:00Oooh, my kind of cake!

He's not paying rent, he's not contributing, he needs to at least be respectful of the rules that YOU as a parent establish. When he is out on his own, he can make up his own rules. Your house, your rules. Keep repeating that to yourself. <br /><br />As for the friend's mom, she is undermining your authority in your house. Personally, I'd make the rule of "Without 24 hours notice, you do not go out and if your chores are not complete then I reserve the right to reverse any decision on going out at the last minute". Asking for dishes to be done in a timely manner is not unreasonable. I would also make up a chart with stuff that needs to be done. If you need to, offer some sort of incentive. With teenagers, you can't show fear and you can't bluff your way out. <br /><br />Good Luck SweetieDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627914722447616191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5410000650930247850.post-75489488431596564182009-05-29T12:31:21.100-07:002009-05-29T12:31:21.100-07:00I just ordered 2 of your books.
