Thank you. It makes me wonder if perhaps the fact she was so attuned to the plight of the indigenous of her country (and discussed it in her attire, her paintings and her words) might also be why she’s not seen as concerned with the “proper” politics or history of Mexico.

I am fascinated by your story and can’t wait to read more. I’ve spent the last few weeks working on an essay about my own loss of faith. Anyway, I really like your blog and I decided to nominate you for two awards — the “Inspiring Blog Award” and “One Lovely Blog Award” In case you should be interested, you post 7 facts about yourself and nominate 15 bloggers you like. Here’s where you can find my post nominating you in case you’re curious. http://thesaltwatertwin.wordpress.com/2012/09/03/pretty-fancy/
Happy posting,
Maia

In writing something that doesn’t follow this complete narrative structure somehow bristles. Trying to describe an experience that is supposed to teach you something feels like it should naturally end with a lesson. Maybe this is why you’re struggling?

If it makes you feel better here is an article from Britains greatest living satirist, in my opinion, and his struggle with the confines of fiction writing.

As you say maybe as a teacher you are approaching this in a too familiar way, are you trying to share your experiences or are you writing a lecture?
