I will certainly be praying for little Evangeline, I can totally relate to what she's going through and what lies ahead for her, as I was born with a cleft lip and palate too, and had multiple surgeries and trips to the orthodontist all through my childhood, and just this year the last step in treating it was finished :) She sounds like a beautiful little girl!<br /><br />And don't worry you are entered!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150290024386704712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497517992499682622.post-80150833646032261442012-10-26T02:11:50.400-05:002012-10-26T02:11:50.400-05:00I noticed that I forgot to leave my email address....I noticed that I forgot to leave my email address. Mine id the one telling that I have 12 grandchildren, 18 greats, with one due anytime. By the way, she finally arrived on the 22nd. She has a double cleft lip and paallet. Poor baby. So glad GOD has allowed doctors to learn how to help these little ones. Please remember her in your prayers this year especially. Her name is Evangeline Viola, Grace Shwacofer. A big name for a little girl. Tho, she started out pretty big! 10 lbs. 9 oz. Don't forget my extra entries, please!

It must have taken forever to re-write. <br /><br />I think it works best to not worry about getting it right the first time. Just let the creative part of your brain work to get your story down. Afterwards, let the logical side of your brain take over as you work (and it is work) to make it make sense. <br /><br />And practice makes perfect (well, not perfect, but better). I know my second book is much better than the first. Hopefully, I'll continue to grow as a writer. Good luck, Wendy.Deborah Healhttp://www.deborahheal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497517992499682622.post-69080339820964142162012-10-25T06:28:12.426-05:002012-10-25T06:28:12.426-05:00That's cool, Judy.

I agree the stories of the towns that are no-more. I have always been interested with old vacant houses I see on trips, thinking how said to be abandoned, instead of refinished with a nice living there. I wonder what stories they could tell if those walls could talk. Please enter me.
