I like to make my mother proud

I think she would approve of my efforts to improve my writing skills. I am working on articles because I like them the least. I much prefer fiction and poetry, but the articles are very hard, and even essays need work. It seems the things I want to write won't be still long enough for me to capture them. Memories and ideas are fluid creations that don't maintain a consistent shape or color. They vanish into the mist or the sunset while I am thinking about how to approach them. I read a blog that described how to write an article. I had learned this before, but it helps to read it and think about it again. Now where did I put that idea I wanted to put into an article?
