My Personal Life

     Let's see...I'm dealing with a parent with Dementia.  Can I tell you that's an illness I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy.  Take for instance, today we're dealing with a clogged toilet due to my dad throwing something down it.  We did every thing we could do on our end.  Oh, yeah, the tub clogged too!  Time to rent an electric snake.
     My dad was the coolest dad "a veteran."  The stories he would tell me.  They were awesome, from growing up on a farm to a cement truck driver, he made shop steward. That means, telling the guys what they need to do for the day and were the concrete has to go!  Very funny man.  He's been dealing with this illness since January 2013.  He's still funny at times.  Don't get me wrong, I love my dad. As my brother would say, I love you like "cook food."  But it gets hard times, sleepless nights, being accused of things I didn't do, the arguing, the cursing, his favorite word the f word.  "the list goes on...
   Then there's the family.  Siblings, are suppose to be a blessing.  My siblings, are a curse.  Always telling me what I should be doing.  Hey, why don't you do it?  And let me take a vacation.  Like I said, I've been dealing with this illness since 2013 what are we in now? 2017 Sorry for ranting and raving....

My Research

     This is how I prepare myself for research.  Sometimes, I'm in the zone and I can't stop writing.  I'll use a post-it.  I'll make a note of what I need to research Later, I'll use the internet if I'm writing and I come up with a place, and need to know more about it. I use the net search engines are so helpful. Later, I go back and fill in the gaps.

     Everyones research is differ I suppose whether you're using the library, Internet or speaking with someone.  To tell you the truth, I thought as a writer of non-fiction, that you didn't need to research. "Just put whatever" that's not true! Readers that are familiar with the place will let you know. I've been on a couple of sites and some of their opinions...Wow! Well let's just say...They will let you know you made a mistake.  So if I get something wrong, please don't come for me. I'll do better the next time!


     How do you do your research for a book or whatever you're searching for?
