Attachments will be a chance for me to formulate my ideas about a book i've long wanted to write a plot that has revolved thru my mind for many years now about myth medicine science and it's impact on the Native American culture
Would you like to help me write this book ? All creative persons are welcomed to be involved and will be mentioned in the book if and when it's published. the correct way to read the book is to start at the first post and scroll down to the bottom post.

er Jammers...i won't be sorry to see you go !!!!
....i was gonna do another book post...the one that would make it an even or uneven 75...lol...since i started here.....with this truely invigorating book....
if only i REALLY had the words to tell this story well....it so much more eloquent in my mind........but i in fact am a poor writer with a grandeose idea....a neophyte......
it is a first draft...unedited and with a poor speeler at the keyboard...
probably very distracting for those of you who read it...
and since i brought my readers up...i only know by my daily numbers and my faithful commenters in the book how well this project is faring
all i can say about this is that during the days i don't post the numbers fall dramatically...but when i do write in the book and produce several new post the numbers rise dramatically.....so i think people are actually reading it...
WHOOPIE !!!!
and now in much bigger letters i would like to thank my faithful commenters
Donna Who....whose's enthusiam about the book excites her and makes her come to every new post to urge me on.... altho if i don't throw an obligatary love scene every 10 or so posts she CAN GET very testy...LOL...
what would i do with out you DW...in many ways my relationship with you and Robin are the heart and soul of this book sista friend.....
Roger Lindstrom...a new friends who sent his dreams and lyricism to me 
and made the love scenes more then just memories to me.....thank you Roger...the gift you give is very rare and and perhaps undeserved...but i'm greedy and hungry and thoroughly enjoyed the fish fry......you're a GOD SEND...or maybe an angel send...........
Amandamagick......who put this book up in her blogs as a must read...and has encouraged me by e-mail and in the comments thruout......i didn't know you well before Amanda...but have come to realise that you are a woman of genuine heart and kindness
i don't know where my mind will take me on this hiatus...perhaps to New Mexico to gather hot purple New Mexican chilis....and if i do go there.....i will have lovely hand thrown tamales for you when i return
pehaps to cruise the currents of coastal Oregon....for i surely need that...my son David will becoming down in August and my little hitcher persona may try and convince him to take me home....for a while at least......but i must admit that like She Takes Wing if i found the right river i might be tempted to stay there forever........
characters have come unexpectedly 
and left unexpectedly...perhaps not because THEY wanted to... but because i couldn't sustain them
characters are falling in love 
and reveal their love to us...the writer and the reader alike.....
Doctors are coming to grips with new genetic realities....
native people of many tribes will have their own explanation of the RED MAN'S truth
and of course there's always the military...LOL...willing to threaten and posture and create a cluster f*ck if possible....LOL....
these three late to arrive on the moniter.... but none the less of major significance will lift your heart and have it dancing...
oh no you say...not that killer Black...but are any of us beyond redemption........
so go...go...go about your business now....i'm taking a serious imagination break.....
but please come back and see me when i return...everyone on my friends list is so important to me...and many of you are there because you were just kind enough to just drop by and talk about hockey...LOL.....
have a warm and lovely summer....i'm outta here...til the backdoor of my mind opens again and they all start parading back in...
the characters that is....
you knew what i meant eh ????
sure you did....LOLOLOL............
....and of course don't forget this one....
...for she is the whole reason for the piece...
we'll be back Serafem and i...hope you come back too

Looking forward to your return and may the time away bring to mind even more advetures.
Many thanks for the story so far. You deserve to have some time to yourself. 
Enjoy it. I'll be waiting for the rest of the story.
Sent you an email last nite re: technical issues over at CKA. I also logged in as you (Donna gave me your p/w) and its not something she did while installing your avatar.
Hey there Nanza... I hope the hiatus Highway treats you kindly... Im still off with the purple people exploring canada, I hope to write again soon... Take care and have a great week...
Mornin Nanza! 
Me too! ;-) 
Hi Nanza. Its almost a month since i have been gone and i have missed you. It seems that you are now taking your hiatus. We are ships that pass in the night so to speak at this time!!
Thats what we need. a national HUG A MALAMUTE DAY! for sure we will enjoy your photos on your return. lol it's so hot this summer....
hi aunty . we hope you have the best time and get to go to the beach this weekend 
I do feel like the worse friend on your Friends list, Nanny poo. I read the first installments of your book when you started out, then I've been dealing with a "blue funk" where concentration has just not been one of my better abilities recently, to put it mildly. I think I had "The Book I'm currently Reading" on my blog for at least a month...me, who could devour a book in a couple of hours, sigh!! I haven't seen you over at my site in a long time, either...I hope all is well with you. I blogged about feeling like I'm at a crossroads lately about a LOT of things...but I'll find my way around and thru things. Taking care of my little grandson is the joy of my life right now but, mercy, that Little Man keeps me BUSY!!! And, silly me...here I thought being at home full time would give me MORE computer time...NOT!!! LOL! Ah well, sweetie...I've missed your lovely, sweet, whimsical ways. Come say hi. 
The reason we Oregon women can't stay mad at our men long is because Oregon men are MEN, that's why, hahaha! Well, at least those who live on THIS side of the Willamette...I dunno about the majority of them on NW 23rd and thereabouts, HA! Ah well...to each his own on THAT matter. Don't feel bad about not getting around, then I won't feel bad either. Sigh. How does life get so blasted busy, Nanny poo? I really do have to get better about visiting, tho. I was over at Blu's blog yesterday and she had the most heart-wrenching entry about blogs...'bout broke my heart, especially since I'M one of those who's kind of disappeared from the "radar screen" the past few months. I've read a few other blogs with the same kind of rant lately...is it the heat, is it the world situation, that's making everyone so edgy and in need of something more than what they're finding lately? I dunno...I certainly don't have the answers. But I know with my own writing...well, I used to obsess terribly about who came by and who didn't and why my visitors would fluctuate so much. I finally put that in a bottle and tossed it into the sea, so to speak. It was taking the fun out of my writing and, like I've said, my main intention was to have a place for ME, a journal for my grandson, and that's what I'm focusing on. Even if I don't get around to visit much, I think of everyone often. Goodness, I mean -- I rarely ever talk to face-to-face friends on the PHONE! HA! I think everyone HERE sees more of me than THEY do! My best friend Lizzee and I have been trying to make plans for a day together ever since the baby was born, and do you think we can get our schedules to work?! Sigh. Ah well.
The kittens feel better... now I'm the one with the problem!
Mornin Nanza....
hi aunty . we hope your computer comes back better than ever 
Hi Nanza! Just stopped by to say hi and I've missed you and that little Roscoe. Hope to be around a little more often now though. I hope all is well and you are enjoying a fantastic summer. 
and a paw shake for the R dog.
mornin Nanza! 
Thank you Nanza! I'm one of only a very few in my family with red hair; I hated that when I was younger especially when my older brother and sister would start teasing me over it and telling me I was adopted and that's why I have red hair. 
But I love it now!
lol how'd you know who I was talking about? Is it THAT obvious?! lol
lol I thought from your last comment you knew who I meant... do you need a hint?
oooh okay. I see. And we are making it rather obvious, now that I think about it. lol Ah but it's nice. I'm happy & it's been a long time since I could say that and really mean it. 
I hope you're safe and not anywhere near the wildfires around Sandy Eggo! I have a dear friend who lives in El Cajon and the fires a few years ago came right up to the back of their property...yikes! I am sitting here listening to the stereo, doing some writing and visiting. Dear Hubby's on such an early shift he's getting up at 1:15 am so he's in bed by 6:30 or so. Last nite I had my grandson and the grand poopies 'til almost 8 pm so I dropped into bed soon after they left and slept like the dead. Tomorrow I am "baby-less" and Dear Hubby and I are going to take a drive out to the archery club he belongs to in St. Helens and spend most of the day there after he gets home around 11. It's tucked waaaaay back in the woods and such beautiful surroundings! We're going to stop at the Subway in town on our way out there, pick up some sandwiches, take along the lawn chairs, and chill. We've both had books on reserve come in at the library so I'm picking them up tomorrow morning and we're just gonna go and reeeeellllaaaaxxxx. The heat has finally broken. AMEN! Love you, sweetie. 
Hi hun, how's it going with you? Have a great weekend!
hi aunty . we are very happy you liked to listen to adam . it is friday and we want you to have a ton of fun this weekend
Ya know slit pea soup always makes me think of the Exorcist.....
Took care of that little subscription thing. Wow can't believe that slipped by when I was reorganizing some things. Miss poor speeler better writer than most if you had to use your toes to type it. Easy Rog 
Enjoy the hiatus but Do come back soon!!!
