I wish I had ...Oh Karen, what a nice thing to say. I wish I had a good answer. I can't decide whether I spend too much time or not enough. To me none of it sounds natural. I have to confess I'm rule-driven. I like good grammar, smooth transitions, and parallel structure, all of which can result in some stuffy writing even if it's technically correct. It's difficult for me to break the rules and write a fragment which gives blogs that chatty, carefree, friendly sound. Most of the time I just write a straight-forward piece, walk away, and let it marinate. That's when I finally think of something cute or surprising giving me the confidence to break a rule.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-51523357528798013022012-04-05T16:26:27.889-04:002012-04-05T16:26:27.889-04:00I mostly remember Mattie having Dementia, which is...I mostly remember Mattie having Dementia, which is truly sad because Momma said she was so smart, curious about everything, and was a good teacher. I think Miss Mattie was teaching Momma the year Grandma sent her to school with a broken arm. Momma threw-up in Miss Mattie's classroom. I bet Miss Mattie didn't have a lot of sympathy.

Funny those that they ask about just seem to flow naturally, like all your fascinating posts! So I must ask you, (although I know many differ with research and such) How much time do you spend on putting yours together!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-13702219832385942682012-04-05T09:33:58.275-04:002012-04-05T09:33:58.275-04:00Morning Miss Wendy, thanks for visiting my blog.

I was certainly called Miz Jo once or twice during my 12 years in the south. Interesting article. Enjoy your steak.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.com
