hahaha It took me 10 months to write my auto biography, writing is not for the lazy. That included a 3 month stay on a mennonite farm
Yeah I know. Haha. I can be not lazy too if I have the time. Maybe if I retire writing can be my next job. That glimpse of your auto biography sounds interesting. Where have you been the rest of the time? Jk you don’t have to answer that.
commited myself to full time job searching since no one wants to hire me with out a car or valid G license. Since job searching is a complete failure looking at going back to school full time in the fall.
I dont think you need a licence to write a paperback novel but it helps to land a publishing deal with a publisher and then churn out hundreds of books like Danielle Steel. You'll be recycling plots but it doesnt matter your hungry romance starved readers will lap anything up.
Just make sure your heroine goes from riches to rags and then back to riches again.

I think there was one book where it was just set over the course ONE day and what happened. Was it The Hours by Virginia Woolf. I think that was it.
Unfortunately Ms Woolf came to a watery end. I dont know why she threw herself into the river, but it seems some writers like being dramatic. Was she not paid enough I dont know.

It was 'Mrs Dalloway' sorry.
The Hours was another novel based on Virginia Woolfs life. Both were set in one day.
So it might not have taken that long to write. Rather than say write an epic history spanning decades, you could just write about one day that was important, kind of like Ferris Buellers Day off if anyone remembers that movie.

Its a full drivers license, and I dont have one because I never thought I would need one growing up, my parents didnt tell me it was a necessity, I have had a beginners for 3 years and I cant afford driving lessons and I cant find anyone who wants to teach me to drive.
no, in fact I know a guy who joined the old order mennonites just so he would never have to get a drivers license. Kind of same lineage as baptists, all 3 branch from the original ana baptists
what ok
well I suppose it depends on where you live if transport is reliable but where I live its a necessity. arent you an adult now?
I would just contact a driving school and save as much as I can for lessons. Its not the best to have parents teach you lol
If you can ride a horse then fine though I cant as my parents neve told me I had to ride one. Never had a horse anyway. My cousin has got into horses though, even fallen off a few times but she keeps riding. She didnt learn because of her parents. She just wanted to learn cos she likes horses. She keps saying she hopes to move somewhere where she can actually keep one.
I think girls can be crazy about horses the same way boys are about cars.
Im considering writing the road code
What is so hard about learning to drive. I learned on a manual but cars these days are automatic and even easier to drive now then they were in the past because they have all the bells and whistles and sat navs.
There are even video games that simulate driving surely. Teaching someone to drive is a lesson in patience but its easy to pick up in a controlled environment where the roads are not too busy. Its the navigating that can sometimes be hard in unknown areas but its like anything, take the plunge and start learning.
Im just saying ...get yourself into a space where you can find freedom. If I cant afford something and its actually a necessity I ask God to provide me with it. No harm in asking.
Why would you willingly want to be stuck at home at the mercy of everyone else. I know one girl who asked for rides off everyone and her boyfriend actaully provided her with a car SO she could learn to drive but she refused to do it. ?!
One thing you would never want to do is get in a car with an angry, drunk driver right?

as far as I know both the amish and the old order mennonites use horses, conservative mennonites and baptists use more modern vehicles and technologies.
I live in a small rural town surrounded by water, no the transportation is not reliable, busses only run once an hour.
well I never rode a horse, but Henry taught me to drive a horse and buggy, single horse and chariot, 2 horses and his rig.
He thinks I would make a good horseman actually. I got exposed to horses a few years ago when Steven hired me to watch his farm while he went to South America on a mission trip.
I have had my drivers license since the age of 16. If you don't have a license, or even bus service, you are basically a prisoner of your surroundings. Not a good way to go for sure.
well go for it if you can do that then you have some freedom esp of you live in a rural area thats horse friendly. Volunteer at a pony club or something to gain skills. Just a suggestion. Wwoofing is also something you can do or housesitting if you are trustworthy, and sometimes those housesitting jobs pay.
