Writers On The Move: The Month of May

Writers On The Move: The Month of May: by Martha from Writers On The Move

May Day, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day.  
All three days are days of celebration and days of remembrance.
The Maypole, decorated with flowers, celebrates the beginning of May, which ushers in earth in full bloom.
 Mother’s day honors mothers both living and dead.  I remember each Mother’s Day dad would buy me a red rose to wear to church signifying that mom was alive and he would wear a red rose in his label.  I remember the Mother’s Day that the color of his rose turned to white.  I am still thankful that I wear a red rose in honor of my mom.

Now I know you have a daughter who also writes, so my first question is do you have any other children and what are their ages? Mayra: First, I want to say thanks for having me on your blog, Virginia . I do have two kids: a girl (who is the writers) age 12 and a boy age 18 (he still counts as a kid for me!)....

2014 Nationa Noval Writing Month Begins!

I decided it was time to take my outline and short scene I did for a writing workshop and finally make it into the novel I've talked about for many years. What makes this novel so special to me isn't the fact I'm doing it for NaNo, but the fact it is based on true events from my junior year of high school. The main character is a mirror of myself in that year. The emotions I felt when I lost my best friend have never wholly been shared. I have rarely (and very lightly) talked about this event to anyone. I have never faced down this time in my life and I hope during this process I finally heal completely. A few words to my dear friend: Dear Jennifer, This is the first time in 20 odd years I have opened myself up since your passing. I think of you often and I have never forgot all the times we spent together. You truly were my best friend even though you left us all at such a young age. You were just stepping onto the path of life when it was suddenly and tragically...
