Prompt 5. Sept 5.
384 The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. Dr. Seuss Tell us more about the writer in you. Plans/Aspirations/Fears/Status etc? I am not an aspirational writer by any means. I began my writing journey when I was seventy. It seemed like a milestone when I thought I should write down my life story for my family. I had no idea about computers at all and went to a local computer classes for seniors. I am known by my family as a bit of a Pollyanna. My saying has always been, Always look on the Bright Side of Life. I even have a gold bracelet inscribed with that saying on it. There’s even talk of the song from The Life of Brian of the same name being my funeral song! Anyway, after blood sweat and tears I produced my life story called, Always Look on the. Right Side of Life. My granddaughter made the cover and each of the family received a copy. That was ten years ago and the writing bug had bitten me. That was when I joined a local writing group. On the first day I was so nervous. Who was I who thought she might be able to write? I began to get more confidence as the weeks and months went by. After several years my sights went to a Writing Centre where people came to stay from all over the country. Again I was nervous and felt like an imposter when I joined a ladies only group. I’ve been there for five years now and feel as if I am an integral member. About the same time I discovered WdC and that was the beginning of feeling as if I could call myself a writer. In the years since I found WdC I know I’ve improved my skills, mostly with the help of other members as they’ve reviewed, suggested and praised. I’ve no aspirations other than to keep coming up with new stories to write. As for fears I’m too old to be scared anymore. If people don’t want to read anything I’ve written, then that’s ok. Status? The only status I seek is to be okay with how my life is going.  |
| Prompt: Since this week is Birthday week at WDC, write something about Birthdays for your Blog entry today. Birthdays. They are the most important days of a child’s life. A year when you’re small is forever. You count your age in Quarters! ‘I’m eight and three quarter, you know.’ A child will brag about getting older. Going through teenage hood, age is all encompassing because at sixteen you can begin driving lesson. 17 you can get your licence and eighteen? Well that’s when life truly begins, isn’t it? 21 still is important because? I’m actually not sure these days. It used to be the day you became an adult but now scientists say the human brain isn’t fully developed until 25. Then we have the birthday which ends in a zero. 30, 40, when life begins properly, 50, getting old. 60, you’re getting older. 70, one foot in the grave. 80, that’s me.😂 |
