My work involves translating. I know Spanish. I am a Spanish translator. I lost my job recently. I want to be an author. I have been writing in my free time. I know a little about the Kindle Store.
I listen to The Rolling Stones. I work for IBM. I only speak English. I retire in 10 years. I am moving to Hawaii when I retire.
How is work going at IBM? It is going good. It is always busy you have to keep up with advances in technology. What tyoe of writting are you doing? I mean like books, articlles or are you into blogging? I'm glad work is going well. Technology changes so often that I can only imagine how difficult it is to keep up. As for writing I have just been writing about life experiences. It's probably nothing that anyone wants to read about. You never know about that you can traslate Spanish maybe you could write a how to book on resourcse for the Spanis community or something that you know alot about. While my work is good it keeps advancing so as I age I got to keep up with the younger generation and I hjave to learn alot they it seem comes naturally but I know they need to learn to it just seems to come easier to the younger generation.  That makes sense. You know what? Maybe I could write a resource book for the Spanish community. My kids have shown me the kindle store on their fire tablet before. With you into technology do you think I could put my resource writings on there? Yes you could. O have a slew of knoledge and was IBM has helped me learn so much about technology and  I have experince with KDP too.  It is actually pretty easy all you have do is set up an account with KDP publish your book through amazon all you need is the manuscript of your computer and format it to their speculations. they have an intro that helps you. They also offer free book cover if you dont have your own.  Oh wow that sounds complicated for me! I'll have to read that free introduction book to even have a chance to understand. I find it easy to write with some music in the background playing. I've actually started listening to the Rolling Stones on a low volume when writing recently.  That is a good idea to keep the creative juices flowing. Does it help o keep you focused or inspire you to write better?  I use the music more of a way to keep me focused instead of sitting in dead silence. I appreciate having something playing in the background. Do you have a song to recommend from them that I should listen to next time I'm writing?  I can undertand that to be honest when I am working I like silence. My mind wanders to the beat of the music. I have heard classical music helps to increase productivity. I like unchined melody that is great or anything that has a good beeat if i need motivation.   I agree. I found one problem with streaming music that isn't on a playlist that I make though. Sometimes it will play a random song that kind of brings me down.  Yes I can agree to that you are being productive than something slow comes on and you lose motivation.
