Life is Like Making Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Let me guess...you need some nuts in with the sugar and spice?

Thanks for sharing that Sue! I like the way you tie in a real story to your lesson--that's kind of similar to how I do it too.

I'll let Lin be nutty, as long as I'm sugar and spice.

Sue, why were you up at 2 a.m.? I do like chocolate chip cookies and after reading your chapter I may know how they relate to life. I can't say for sure, though. Anyway, I liked it.

Life is always better with a little bit of everything thrown in...sugar, spice, nuts...whip cream doesn't hurt either, unless of course you're lactose intolerant!

Well, we've managed to skirt around food on these MB's quite a bit lately, but it cannot be denied any longer...sometimes a writer's just got to eat!

Tired of choco chip cookies? There is always the cat's head biscuits; it's all comfort food, anyway. I liked the friend's story, too. It personalizes it. And keeping it simple makes it an easy read.

Thanks, Zada! People tell me it is like having me there talking to them. Too many of our self-help books nowadays aren't simple enough. I was trying to write for the ordinary people I deal with all the time.

Thanks again!

I can't imagine getting sick of chocolate chip cookies Sue, but I am willing to try! Surprised

I once heard a sermon on this topic. It was awesome. No doubt your book will be too!!!
Blessings!

Sue, I think you did a fine job. Many self help style books come sounding 'preachy'. What I read sounds conversational and friendly.

Thank you, Donald, for the kind words.

Zada, that is what others tell me also. They say it is like I am right there talking to them. I know some of the punctuation isn't "traditional". However, it is the way I talk. I can talk literate as well as illiterate depending on what I have to say and who I am talking to. I was told it was simple and easily digested. *grin* Thank you for your kind words as well.

I find that when I read my own book I have aha moments. It is like someone else has written the book and I am reading it for the first time everytime I read it. LOL... There are people who are on their 5th reading of it and get something new each time. That excites me!
