At what point do you call yourself a writer?

-
When I was nine years old, I took a piece of blue construction paper and stapled it around some blank computer paper. I titled the book, Young Author. I didn't know what I was going to write in there, but I knew it was going to be good! I wanted to write mysteries. I read a whole lot of Nancy Drew at the time, everything in the local library and bought a few dozen more with my own money. (My daughter has them on her bookshelf as I write this--no way was I getting rid of those.) I attended a few workshops, dreamed, scribbled in notebooks, started a dozen stories, wrote a play (in fourth grade) and a scene I took to drama competition, took some Creative Writing classes in college. But it wasn't until nine years ago that I decided I was going to do it. I had read a book that contradicted the thought that I had to be wildly talented to get published (a popular belief that I held or held me back), I only had to work hard, gain experience, and learn skills. In roughly ten years, ...

Making Female Friends

-
Now that I'm happily married and I no longer have to worry about how to deal with dating, I found a new problem has arisen: making female friends. It's like I'm back at the dating stage only it's with girls instead of guys and instead of hashing with my roommates, I'm hashing with my husband.

He bends to sweep up the pile. "I just don't want to appear over-anxious and therefore needy. Nothing scares away friends more than needy." He empties the dustpan into the trash, banging it on the side to make sure it all comes out. ...

Shopping In Japan

-
 Shopping in Japan is a beautiful experience! I love how they make everything beautiful and appealing. Here are a differences of shopping in Japan than in USA. The first thing is that if you are trying clothes on, they will ask you to remove your shoes in the dressing room. They may also have a facial cover for you to put on so that your makeup or sweat won't get on the item. They are very polite about this, so please remember to do it. Often the item you are trying on isn't the item you will purchase. They have "try on" items and then in the back, they have the same items already wrapped and ready for purchase. I actually like this since you won't take home an item of clothing that has been tried on a thousand times by other shoppers and I kinda wish we'd do that too. It also makes their sales floor less crowded since they only have displays out, not their inventory. Maybe it's also Inventory Loss protection, but I kind of doubt it. It just looks really n...
