I just came across your story about Marie Celeste Letendre. If this is the same lady, she was my great grandmother. I have a picture of her. I also have a picture of Francois Daigneault, her husband. - | ||

![]() Lois Delaney: Just would like to thank everyone who encouraged me these past few years with my writing, and with my life situations. You are a great bunch, and are very special to me. I will be taking a course in writing for the following 12 weeks, but it should not take too much time away from being here. A special wish goes out to all of my friends, new and old, for the most blessed and special year this coming 2012. You mean a lot to me. Hugs to all!! |

![]() Lois Delaney: I am in the process of making homemade cinnamon buns for Christmas morning. Perogies are in the freezer, tourtiere, and several assortment of cookies and squares. Whew! My house seems to be getting bigger every year when I decide to give it a clean-up! And smaller as the family grows bigger, and everyone needs a bed (or a couch). Sorry I have been too busy to read your works of art, but after the holidays I hope to keep up. Merry Christmas!!! |

![]() Lois Delaney: Got the tree up finally today. Last night, went to see the Winnipeg Jets take on the Minnesota team. Jets won in the last couple of minutes. How exciting it was. The crowd went wild. ( So did I! ) It will be the only game I get to see this year. Tickets are sold out for three years. I managed to get one from my son who chose to miss one game. Merry Christmas, one and all. |

![]() Lois Delaney: I decided it's time to clean house and decorate my haven. Nobody will do it for me. I will have a full house for a couple of days. Four children and their spouses, eight grandchildren whom I adore, and my mum who is 85 this past June. How blessed I am. And I bought a huge turkey for $20. It should feed my gang, along with all the trimmings. Merry Christmas everyone. I love you all! |

![]() Lois Delaney: I think I have finally gotten everything straightened out with Fanstory. The story is back to being Lady Beatrice. I am combining short chapters that have already been written, and will be posting new chapters once I am done editing and adding whatever to what I already have worked on. What a chore and hazzle it has been. |

Lois Delaney: The following is from today's Winnipeg front page news. Sean Quigley is a 16 year old student from Oak Park High School. About a month ago he got the idea to make a Youtube video. He chose to do a version of Little Drummer Boy because the song resonated with him. "Little Drummer Boy speaks to me so much....The whole song is a story - it's about this boy who gets word of Jesus being born and he goes to see him and he doesn't have anything to give him; he's like 'I don't have money, I don't have gifts to give you. But I can play my drum and that's more than enough'." - Sean Quigley The video is amazing. What makes it so remarkable is that Sean played all the instruments, sang the vocals, recorded everything and shot, directed and edited the video. It is an impressive feat of artistic achievement for a 16 year old. As of Thursday Sean's video had 300 views. Within 24 hours it had been viewed over 4000 times. One day later, it has passed the 40,000 mark. |

![]() Lois Delaney: I am back to writing Lady Beatrice, but this time it is called Lady Beatrice 2. I couldn't delete the first chapter, and had to start a whole new book. I think I know a bit more than when I began to write. I have my storyline, characters, and time and place. It is written in omniscient POV. If you get a chance, teach me how to get some six-stars. I don't know what is missing. Help!!!! |

![]() Lois Delaney: Hi everyone. Just want to remind everyone about voting for the NaNoWriMo Contest. Some writers didn't stop writing for an entire month, while some of us had to drop out because of illness, or other problems. Good luck to all the participants. I am so proud of all of you. You stuck in there and can be really proud of yourselves. Hugs to all who participated, and made this an awesome contest. Lois xoxox |

![]() Lois Delaney: The NaNoWriMo Contest is approaching very quickly. I will be very busy reading other entries and trying to write my own novel in a month. If you don't get feed back from me, I should be back in December. Hugs to all my fans. |

![]() Lois Delaney: In less than a week, NaNoWriMo begins. Yaah!!!! November 1st. Mark it on your calendar. Please read the chapters the contestants will be sharing. And do remember, these chapters or postings are unedited. Share your thoughts, be encouraging, and above all, be kind. We want to treat others as we expect others to treat us. This challenge is like a marathon. The writing will not be perfect. Be honest and helpful. That is all we ask. Thank you all for helping us become novelists in one month. |

Answer to my request about posting our novel chapters and asking for comments only. No rating at this point. This is his reply: Yes, you can initially post it with comments only. Later, you can edit it and change that. Thanks, Tom - | ||

Lois Delaney: Knives have all been accounted for. The nuts and bolts in my brain may be disarranged somewhat. Novel writing begins next week. So far, I have no ideas or characters. And I have to depend on these nuts and bolts. On, my!!!! |

![]() Lois Delaney: I have to make some serious decisions about selling my home, and I ask for all your prayers. It is a huge home, and my son has mentioned to me that he and his wife would like to buy it. I would live in the basement suite which I am still working on. I turned sixty-five this past July, but I feel as though I am still young most days. I am in serious debt which causes me to keep hard at work with fostering, and at another part-time job. I'm not asking for you to tell me what to do, but to just pray that God will lead me in the direction He wants me. Lois |

Lois Delaney: Just a note of advice. Stay put! This is a great place to read and write. I have been off spending money I don't have on trying to start my own online business. Lost over 8,000 dollars. I am sick. Broke and sick. I wished I would have just stayed put and kept up with my writing. Well, I did learn one thing. Don't look for greener pastures, because you may end up in the desert. |

![]() Lois Delaney: The snow is falling. Drifting. Snow storm watch is underway, and I have to go to work in a few hours. Close to 30 kilometres of driving which will probably be in a near white out. I'd rather be working on my novel. Oh, well! I like to eat too. So preparing my mind for the have-to's in life. |

![]() Lois Delaney: Sometimes, I feel so unqualified to write. I want to curl up in my shell, like a turtle, and hide. I have commapholia. Some say add, some say delete. What can I do? Take another course on where to place your commas. Help!!!! |

I remind myself that I am not an editor; I am a writer. And though it is necessary that a writer is aware how to communicate effectively on paper, the editors are there to polish a writer's work to a shiny penny. You are not alone in your confusion (I think a comma goes here but I am not certain) nor your feelings of not being a good writer. I think us creative beings are often riddled with self doubt about our creative works. I remember a writer (don't recall the name) saying that he thinks he is a genius on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and an idiot the rest of the week. So, keep on writing my Canadian friend! - | ||

Lois Delaney: I just got a phone call that one of my cousins, aged 51 years of age, was found dead this morning near the railway tracks in Saskatchewan. Not sure yet what happened, but it sounds like suspicious play. I am so sad to hear this. |

Lois Delaney: I had no idea this place was available to write to each other and share. What a neat idea. I have just written a disgusting story that is actually biographical, but didn't want to share that with everyone. Just friends. Please be kind when you review my stream of consciousness story. It's for real. Besides I didn't want my children to read it one day, and find out the truth, if you know what I mean. Hugs to all!!!! |
