Real or Fake...You decide

This vacation was unlike any other!  I remember it like it was yesterday. 

I was on a cruise for my first time.  I don't normally like being on the ocean but a cruise....well that's different. 

It's like a city on water.  There's people everywhere and I mean everywhere.  You can shop, eat, tan, dance, play games, you name it.  Doesn't sound like being on water now...does it? 

The cruise was a week long, but it the days seemed like hours to me.  Too short. 

There were so many different fun things I did there, such as swimming in a pool with my family.  I know.... swimming in a pool on the a boat!  Such blast.  That vacation was full of Great memories that will last forever!

Real or Fake....YOU decide

It was one of the most exilerating moments of my life! Never had I done something that gave me such a thrill....I felt like I was flying!!  Normally I don't have the courage to do such a thing, because these types of things.....flat out scare me.

Waiting in line, I believe, made me more nervous.  Thinking about whether I should go through with it not.  The constant..."What if" questions running through my brain.

My friends being there definitely helped.  I don't think I would have gone on "It" if they weren't there.  I actually chickened out earlier and once it was my turn I had turned it down. 

Once I got to the top, my friends trying to convince me to go on....I knew there was no turing back.  This was it....the "One." 

Riding "this" Rollercoster was one of the greatest thrills in my life.  I don't normally go on big rollercoasters because they scare me. It was a Great Memory. This rollercoaster made me feel like I could fly.   The Raptor. 

Good Writing

After Reading Stephen King's memoir, I learned many of his insights about good writing vs. bad writing.

I think his idea of the first thing you have to master is the fundemantals such as grammar, vocab., and the styles of writing is very true. 

If King didn't have the correct word useage and grammar then I wouldn't want to read his work because it would be sloppy and unorganized. 

Many times Writer's know what they're saying but.....if they're using bad grammer and the wrong word usage than what the writer is trying to get across won't be as effective to the audience.  

Readers don't like seeing the same words being repeated in what YOU have written.  Stephen King wrote about a book he read where the author kept using the word "Zestful" as many times as he could in his book.  King hated the book and he learned many lessons on how NOT to write from reading it...not to mention King said will never use the word zest in any book.  

The only way that YOU are going to become a better writer is to write and read A LOT!!
