Growing Up, It Happens

Being there for my single-mom daughter, her four children has it's highs and lows...but always with a lot of love.

People of a certain age, like to say "I was once your age..." or "When I was fifteen..." , but their reflections often fall upon deaf young ears. That's a pity really. Think of all those lost life lessons gone unheard. For every generation, growing up, happens.

I offer my attempt to reflect some of those life lessons and teachable moments in short stories that are easily digestible for all readers.

I removed two chapters that seemed out of sink with the rest of the book. I will use them in a separate effort.

I've recently updated the title of this project. The first one was really starting to bug me.

General:
The first chapter is great, it comes from reality and from the heart. I intend to keep reading, it has a good flow.

Originality:
I know it comes from Viki's own real life experience. I know there must be others who have experience similar situations. It's just that Viki is brave enough to write about and share it with others.

Execution:
Anyone who gets it typed in gets a "C"
Anyone who put's it out there for others to see gets a "B"
Anyone who is willing to put it into a book with chapters and asks her friends to look inside her inner thoughts gets an "A"

Structure:
And if it flows forward without rambling, makes sense. No extraneous unneeded dialog.

Tone/Voice:
It comes from the heart and from our inner fears.
It has a tone of being at peace with herself, her life and the situation at hand.
