My writting process

My writing process is not that complicated at all, at least to me it's not. I love to write and I have a lot in my head. I'm the kind of person that knows how to word things perfectly. I'm very passionate about what I write. I have to really think about what it is I'm writing and make sure I find a way to relate it to the person or people that will be reading it.
If I can control it at all, when I write, I like to be in a quiet place with my headphones listening to heart beats. I don't want to have to get up or be distracted in any way. I have children so I usually do my writing at night. That way I make sure they are in bed and that is one less distraction. I love to use examples and metaphors to help express how I feel. As I write I will read what it is I'm writing about over and over and over again. This is because I have to make sure it sounds perfect. Although there are many times I get lost in the story or my feelings. I forget that the person/people reading it may not see it as I do and may not understand it. I tend not to hold anything back. When I'm done I will check for misspelling and see if I can revise it. One thing about my writing, that I can not stress enough, is my need to read it over. That to me is the most important part. I always want to be proud of what I write.

Technology in my life

Technology in my life has not reached its potential. I myself have just begun to crack the surface. I'm a single mother of three beautiful children who at this point, probably no more about today's technology then I do. Technology makes things easier, but learning to use it is the hard part for me. The only technology in my life would be my phone, even then it is a simple phone. Instead of having to call somebody I just text. I plan to get a lab top and I believe that will make things easier as well. With computers we are able to communicate with others at records speeds. We are also able to express how we feel, for example my space. Technology in my life helps me know what to expect from the weather. It also lets me know if there is a problem with my car. For example if I take it to Autozone they can hook a computer to the lighter jack and run a diagnostic. So I know how important technology is, but still have a lot to learn from it.. The truth is I'm and old fashion girl who needs to get up to date in today's world of technology.
