Just Be There Blog

Past my bedtime--ooops

I just dropped in to clarify the list I posted to yesterday's blog entry.

The longest phase of my life--still in progress, I hope--is my life writing. Started writing with serious intention when I was 14--John-boy Walton was my role model in that I started keeping a personal journal. My writing activities have waxed and waned over the years only to come back with gusto after a long drought. The summer after graduating HS I wrote several lengthy stories, a couple I still have in a box. I stopped writing from the time I went into the USAF (age 20 until 1990, when my life crashed down around my ears--then I wrote most of the poetry I have displayed in my portfolio. Then I fell in love and writing was abandoned again. I started writing stories for an online RPG I was involved with in 2000 and discovered Stories.com in 2001--I've stalled in my writing several times since but I've never stopped completely. Overall, my writing skills have improved more in the last 10 years than all the years before, I think feedback from the 'now' WDC community is to blame for the improvements.

I'd love to go on and on with this topic but it is well past my bedtime. Today is a workday and I must needs sleep.
