My Name is Susie and I’m a Comma Addict

Editing a manuscript is like editing your life! Search for the mistakes and fix them!

Book One of The Sweet Melissa Memoir Series has been revised!  No worries! I’m sure it has plenty of commas stuck in the wrong place! It also has dialogue and a more descriptive value including what? EMOTION,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,#Recovery #Adiction #OneDayAtATime
If you need to hire an editor/life coach then do it!  If you’re stubborn like me and you want to do it alone, then be prepared for the criticism. Go through the pages of your manuscript/life one word at a time.  Find an easy flow. Don’t make it complicated with terms you don’t understand and ask for help when you can.  There’s one thing I’ve found to be true, and that’s putting comma’s in the right place.  I habitually overuse them
.  I guess they are my “NEW DRUG of CHOICE” and sometimes I follow my own rules of punctuation. If I need a pause or a break, I shove one in!  I am a comma addict, but I’m a happy one!  My name is Susie and I’m a comma addict!

    I know what you mean! When I was re-editing my book for the 470th time, I found myself adding even more commas! My publisher sent me a note that the "new style" of editing has completely abandoned what they now call "Serial Commas". Broke my little heart! LOL

The American Opioid Epidemic and Mental Illness

Someone Like Me-Is there a connection between addiction and mental illness? I say there is! Some people say that addiction is a choice, but I know for a fact that it’s not. Mental illness plays a big part in a persons decision making process and lifestyle choices. I am now in the middle of writing my 7th book and I will explain in detail how my chemically imbalanced mind thinks and reacts.  Well, at least how mine did before treatment anyway! Sure, I am no pro and I am not a doctor, but I have a genuine real life experience and a story to tell. I hope that you will open your mind to the possibility, or shall I say the reality, that addiction is indeed a disease and not a choice.

A TOUCH OF HOPE/ADVICE FOR FAMILY and FRIENDS of the ADDICT

IS THERE LIFE AFTER ADDICTION Whether it be HEROIN, COCAINE, ALCOHOL, METHAMPHETAMINE, PRESCRIPTION PILLS, or "WHATEVER" there is always HOPE for a decent and prosperous  life after addiction.  Is it EASY?  Hell NO!  It is one of the most DIFFICULT things a person may ever have to ENDURE.  With the LOVE, and SUPPORT of family and friends this seemingly IMPOSSIBLE TASK can be ACCOMPLISHED.   As with anything else in life that is WORTHWHILE, anything that you may be trying to SUCCEED at, there will WORK involved.  I'm not talking about the SHOVEL in hand type of work either!  The type of JOB I am referring to is FAR more MENTALLY draining and CHALLENGING.  I am talking about DEDICATING your absolute EVERYTHING to the CAUSE.  It may or may not sound EASY to you.  Just keep in MIND that it is extremely EASY to get SIDETRACKED and STRAY from your GOAL and your main PURPOSE of assisting a loved one in RECOVERY. The ADDICT wil...
