So, I'm wondering; did anyone read my post with the first chapter of my story, Child of the Sun? I'm wondering because I'm still not sure about the dream sequence part of the chapter and how to punctuate it. If you have any ideas on that part, please let me know.

Health Care. It still needs work. Obama Care doesn't work for everyone. Why are we paying taxes on Health Care when Health Care is becoming required by the government? Another part of Health Care that doesn't work is that not everyone can take pharmaceutical drugs. I can't for one, so I don't go to a doctor who takes insurance all the time. Instead, I work mostly with a naturopathic doctor and most of my 'medications' are herbal remedies, vitamins and supplements.

Okay, here's the first part of my story, Child of the Sun that I promised. Please let me know what you think. I'm having trouble with the dream sequence in this chapter. I'm being pulled in oposite directions with people telling me to put both italics AND quotes, and people telling me to just put italics and no quotes. Not sure how to approach it.

Foreword

 Well, I'm another step closer to school at Full Sail. I found our tax paperwork I needed and completed the FASFA. Tomorrow I'm supposed to either go get the referral from my doctor to go to the clinic at UNM to get tested for dyslexia or have them fax it to the clinic along with the report from the center I had the reading test done at. They have to "make sure that its the right clinic" for me. *eyeroll* I hate UNM. The first time I called, they told me that they only tested children because for adults it was considered education and insurance didn't cover it.

 Sorry I haven't posted the pics of me or of Charlie in his costume. I've been running around like mad since Halloween. I had to go across town and spent 20 minutes looking for a parking space to pick up my transcripts at the community college yesterday, then today, I got a call that my GED transcripts were ready too, so I not only had to visit ITT Tech on one side of town, but I also had to go back to the community college to get my other transcripts. I got them faxed today to Nathan, my academic councilor at Full Sail.

 Ah, my favorite holiday! So, what are you going as for Halloween? Me, I'm going as Professor Snape. I have to pick up the costume this afternoon from my mom's house when she gets home from work. She made it for me a couple years ago, but had to sew the buttons on. LOL she STILL has to sew the buttons on, but we're one step closer with having the button holes done instead of velcro HAHA. I will have to post pics, I know.  She also made Charlie a cape that says "Super Charlie" on it.

Well, I went bowling tonight with some people from my mom's church. I got approached by the preacher and asked if I was going to church anywhere. I got a funny, scolding look when I said no. Before I could get chewed out, I told him my husband works weekends and I don't drive, because lets face it, even if I do drive on occasion, its never all that far. He asked me if I'd mind someone picking me up. I said no, but was never asked for my address. To be honest, this guy is a big part of the reason I don't go.

You know, I've gotten some calls today from schools - I'm currently talking to Kaplan University, and as far as I can see there's only really once class that stands out on their Communications bachelors program is public speaking because I know I'll have to have that as an author for doing readings and book signings. So far though, Full Sail is still looking to be the best regardless of the high cost for their program because their tuition is locked in, meaning it won't change.

 Well, I didn't do much today except go to this writers meeting. There were two new members there tonight. They read my stuff and at least one of the new members (as well as the old members) wants to see more of my stuff. I told them all it was my last physical meeting cause I was going to try and go back to school. Honestly, I am still considering Full Sail for their Creative Writing for Entertainment program which gives a bachelors in fine arts.

 You know, I really hate when people think something is cool, and it doesn't work worth a crap, like touch screen phones. I have a Motorola Droid with Verizon, and not only does the phone suck, but right now so does the service. Anytime I am on a call and my cheek touches the phone, the damned thing thinks I'm trying to dial out and drops the call I'm on. Sometimes the connection's still there but the other person can't hear me, some time the call's dropped and it says I still have a connection, and sometimes the calls are dropped all together. Even when I have three bars.
