I love reading good books especially ones that are based on historical events or romantic historical books. I think that brings out my writing and creative side.
Even as a teenager I would write stories and poetry. Not a lot of poetry but a few attempts. But life happened and I became a wife and mother and never found the time to be serious about writing. Now as retirement speeds towards me I try to find some time for writing. Summer is on its way and I will soon spend more time sitting on my porch reading some good books and coming up with ideas to write about.
I am sticking to writing either about writing or history and possibly some great book reviews later in the summer.
I would like to encourage other writers to follow that dream. Maybe not being a rich and famous writer but at least a published author. Find the time every day to put something on paper. Keep a journal of your everyday experiences, ordinary experiences or extra special experiences. If only I had kept a journal when I was working in restaurants, the stories I could have written might have ended up in a book.
But life is full of stories and I work with elderly people now and they have some awesome stories to tell. I only wish my parents were still alive and I could hear their stories. As children we tend to be too busy to listen and appreciate their stories.
Anyone having any advice please share and let’s help other aspiring writers.
