This song and the quote I was given as prompt ginran drabbel exchange, helped inspire me to write the drabble “Foot Prints”.
"People so seldom say I love you And then it's either too late or love goes. So when I tell you I love you, It doesn't mean I know you'll never go, Only that I wish you didn't have to."


Foot Prints

I thought I would ask here if anyone would beta a 217 word fic I have. It’s for a mini drabble exchange. :D Goodnight.

Why? Because I’m procrastinating and I still need to write for ten minutes. Yes for wrisomifu, but I'm getting sleepy.

My friend got me this book at a used book sale. It was the “Twilight” of our generation. Well not as big, since there was no internet. All the girls were talking about the books and the made for TV movie and how cute Rex Smith was, who looks like IMO a mix of Peter Frampton and Rod Stewart.

Truth is I never read the books or watch the movie, and that is why my friend bought the book for me. She put it on my desk this morning, and I had to break it to her that “Waiting Games” was the sequel to “Sooner or Later.” She said that she would have to buy me the first book then. ;) Lucky for her I found the movie on Youtube.

I also was able to find a video to the hit song from the movie called, “You Take My Breath Away”.

So much blue and white in this video: the clouds, sand, waves, sea, ocean, ski, bubbles and birds. I believe I saw a snow cap mountain, unless it was a giant sand dune. I’m getting to relax watching it and yes I’m procrastinating writing for wrisomifu.

Time for wrisomifu. Okay I’m really procrastinating today and I’m looking at the time. Ten minutes here I start.

( Tick-tick-tick )

wrisomifu writing time. Okay I really don’t want to write today, but I’ll try. No fiction. But I’ll write about what I think about the idea of one true love, soul-mate, loving one person for the rest of your life and all that stuff in fiction.

Time for my ten minutes or more for wrisomifu. I asked my muse if there would be any creative writing and all I got was a short no. So again I ramble about…well writing.

I still am doingwrisomifu. Day 5 I wrote about sandwiches, because of the day 4 suggestion. But I was having computer problems and lost what I wrote. But I still wrote. Yesterday I posted a topic about stuff being lost in translation here:
http://community.livejournal.com/bleach_fact/267614.html

So yes I’ve been doing my ten minutes or more everyday, just not fiction. : (

So for my own amusement and in hopes that rambles like this will help me with how I see certain characters and lead me to write a fic.

I surprised when one of my students didn’t really have a signature. She was trying to create one. I asked why. She said that she never really learned cursive and didn’t really need it. This made sense to me. So I asked a few other students and parents about their children. And some said that their children didn’t know how, because they never used it.

They are taught it when they are in a certain grade, but are not required to write papers using it. In fact they are not allowed. I know it seems kind of sad that this is disappearing and to some it seems that this generation and future generations are being robbed of a gift.

I guess I think of a future of being in an old folk’s home passing cursive notes to others of my generation, and the younger staff being upset about not being able to read my “scribble.”
Things come and go. I don’t think this generation is stupid for not knowing it, but I do feel a sadness and yes surprised, because I just assumed they new how to read and write cursive writing.

Some links about the death of cursive.

It seems like a lot of people are writing today. I know one reason it NaNo and because they just feel like it. As for me I’ve joined wrisomifu
so I have to write for at least ten minutes everyday. The timer is on and so I write. But what to write? I was thinking of creating a bogus blog and posting as a fictional character with some exaggerated of things that have happened in my everyday life. I did create a blog, but I lost the password and user name and I have to find it.
