Motivation Graf
I wanted to write about my house. Not just because it's an ordinary house, but the symbol of this home meant alot to me. It stood for more than just a dwelling. There are many memories built within this home and most importantly I bought this home for my children. Yes, that is every parent's goal in life. But how many people can say that they bought a house two houses down from the house they grew up in? Or down the road from their parents. Not only was there a motive to buy this house, there are also continuous maintenance that are involved with owning a home. Apparently, I hadn't been prepared for that. Yes, I bought my home, but would it become my dream home? There are always ups and downs in every household. That is why I thought that there would be tons of ideas or topics that I could bring up as being a fairly new homeowner. Starting off as a single parent and now focused to work together as a new family. To look into this would seem simple to some, but money, time, efforts, etc. played a big part to achieve any accomplishment. As time went on, there seemed to be more areas to work on. And would this house stay as a permanent part of our lives? So, as we embark on the daily to monthly, adding up to yearly projects to make our house into our home, I often wonder:
* Can I make this home my dreamhome?
* Which project should be prioritized?
* What to work in the house?
* What needs work around the yard?
* Do we stay after the kids leave? Does that influence the projects?
* What do needs to be rid of, verses what needs to be kept?
* Should we do it ourselves or pay a contractor/help?
* How does living 2 houses from your parents really feel?
* Is it better to live far away from work? Is it logical? Or reasonable?
* How does the surroundings of the home work for me (us)?
* How has the house been to the family?

I'd question whether this adds anything new or could just be dropped:

Otherwise, looks fine, though the questions may eventually be modified and fine tuned.
I am looking at the questions and do they seem to be too many to talk about or would it be better to combine some of the questions together? And if I took that section out, do I still end it with the last few sentences?
DeleteEnd it with the last few sentences so it flows into the questions--yes, I think so.
ReplyDeleteI'd leave the questions alone at this point--they are essentially brainstorming and give you lots of scope and direction for research. Eventually they may be refined, modified, merged, combined.
