I wake up every morning between 3:30 and 4:00 eager for a new day. I've never done that before. Since finding Verla's board I've discovered a latent love in my life. Writing! I'm not one who can say, "I've been writing all my life." I must admit, though, books are inside me wanting to be written.
I wasted my time bemoaning my voice. I sang like a sick moose. I listened to beautiful songs sung by beautiful voices in awe. How did they do that? Didn't it hurt? It sure hurt me to try. My family said it hurt them too!
These days I sing inside my own head. It sounds beautiful in there.
Anyway, for others, my voice sounds better on paper.
As a beginner, I expect to make mistakes. DON'T CRINGE when you see them. I used to be a better speller and would do that when I saw mistakes. So, if you have a compulsive need to gag each time you see a grammatical error, spare yourself, and don't visit often. This is my blog. I'm not perfect and will not get all weird about looking good to others. Of course, when submission time comes, that's different!
The older I get, the more comfortable I feel within my world. I have less need. That's freeing.
Well folks, it's all been about me this time. What about you?
