Let's Talk About Words

https://www.facebook.com/susanmarie.schulhof.7?ref=hl Riding Waves is the story of Harper Johnson, a typical teenage girl, as she learns to navigate the joys as well as the trials of growing up, falling in love and going to college. It appears that Harper’s life is heading in the direction of her dreams as she graduates from high school and begins to date her best friend’s charismatic older brother, Dan. As she struggles to balance her own needs with the demands of being in a relationship, she loses her best friend and is in danger of losing herself. She has some hard decisions to make when her choices lead her only to confusion and pain. While on vacation in Florida, she writes a poem comparing her own life to how she feels when body surfing. She realizes that just like in body surfing, she must decide which waves will take her to shore and towards her dreams, and which choices might take her under and cause her only pain.

    Henry Ford said, "Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs ." This is great advice for any task that I need to do; whether it is cleaning the house, paying bills or a project for work or school. I think about one thing that I can do, focus only on that first step , then do it. Even though it was a life long goal , I felt overwhelmed when I thought of how many pages and how many words it would take to write a book . Every time I started to write, I would re-read and edit my previous chapters. I felt that I was not making much headway, but then I read another author's advice to just write it first; then later go back and add details and descriptions. This was a great suggestion since I finished the rough draft of Riding Waves four months early. It is true that everything gets done one step at a time.
