Okay…I’m having some trouble here. What did she mean by “real writing costs you to relive it?” That you have to relive memories if you want to write effectively about them?

Batteries?hrm
Lots of tree ideas.
Great advice from Sandra Cisneros. Reminiscent in partof Athol Fugard’s daily list of 10 obsvns or int events.

Fabulous writing tips!! One of my professors always told us that if we were falling asleep while reading – take a nap! Since I can’t nap I can’t attest for the success of that tip but a lot of my fellow students said it worked for them. I’ll have to keep that in mind next time I write an essay!

Hope you got some Zzzzzzz’s, my dear!

I just learned about Sandra Cisneros in spanish a few weeks ago!! She is a chicana poet yes!?

Glad you learned some good things….taking a nap to relieve writer’s block works for me!

And yum….that bowl of cereal is lookin’ mighty fine right now since I’m about to throw a bowl together myself!!

PS…..sorority life is kinda like greek….but the show definitely exaggerates and underplays a lot of it too! haha!
