I love your car stories. This is the second one I have read. For some reason when I read them I am taken back in time to stories told by my mother and my grandparents. Maybe it is the "old" cars. I find reading my writing out loud to be very helpful too.Koreen Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06977777342739056741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573284323132271567.post-66508449440356914072012-03-05T14:55:36.789-07:002012-03-05T14:55:36.789-07:00Ruth Ayres,
This is the first time I have written ...Ruth Ayres,<br />This is the first time I have written this group of car stories. This event left an indelible mark on me for many reasons. <br /><br />Process: I think in my mind about the events. What is germane to this story. I wrote it like I would tell it out loud. I usually read it to my husband first.<br /><br />Reading it out loud helps me hear what works and where I have problems. I can see his facial expression and that lets me know if I have made the connection.<br /><br />For me writing a blog and having people leave comments has been invaluable as a writer. <br /><br />I feel good now that "it is on the page." I am glad you asked the question, I had not consciously known the steps I take until I put it into words.storykeeper.ferris@gmail.comhttp://windows2mylife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573284323132271567.post-8681505175982483172012-03-05T11:56:33.624-07:002012-03-05T11:56:33.624-07:00Wow, what a story!

I believe you did have an angel somehow watching over you. That's my favorite part of the story. Certainly something guided that car safely. Ruth, you are such a good storyteller!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573284323132271567.post-89881381833720472732012-03-04T23:05:40.045-07:002012-03-04T23:05:40.045-07:00Wow, I couldn't stop reading that story and ev...Wow, I couldn't stop reading that story and even though the title fit it perfectly, I wasn't prepared for the seriousness of the accident. <br />So good that had that guardian angle Ruth,<br />BonnieBKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973593425566621090noreply@blogger.com
