How to write?
I am writing the lit guide for longest time - I enjoy writing but I hate standardizing- I drag my feet I'm inconsistent- will I ever complete a decent phd thesis? I'll need a year to edit!

Sauce less enchilada
Sigh tried experimenting making vege enchilada but... Need to wait and see how it turns out- no sauce no proper cheese sigh. Will let you know !
A morning of contradictions
Drill at Home to reinforce math and language
Creative writing next year in paragraphs and full sentences
No show and tell in order to complete workbooks
Run for five min then back to math at 4pm
this from the Montessori school!
Aargh!

what is it to write?
What is it to write?
it is to transform, to have the power to transform
to let people escape, to raise goosebumps on their hands
it is to make people laugh and cry, to make them get angry and to believe in the characters
it is a miracle, well done
It is magic
such a book is Mister Pip
What can a book not achieve, an author not achieve?
What can a teacher not achieve?
This story has war, a student, a teacher and a book
And it needs nothing more
Next task - Great Expectations
I too want to meet Pip, Joe Gragery, Miss Havisham, Estella and others
I want to meet this pip who changed the life of a young girl
On re-reading, I do not storm as much at the mother for her decisions
I realize now she's being true to herself has been and will be, even if she makes wrong decisions in the process
what can a book do?
all and everything

Writing is cathartic
Once you start writing and you get a t
Receptive audience you find you can't really stop! Thats fluency

Back and moving on
Yes I'm back from India- a month ago actually! In that time I've moved cubicles- sounds small but was a pretty massive move! And list my phone and all recent photographs .
Am now at crossroads again. Want to make two major decisions - one to take some time off work to spend more time with the kids- also more time for me to do my things I guess - research for my studies etc. and... Planning seriously now about my studies.
Praying to god for guidance!
