Well I Never...

Well, I never... would have believed that I retired from school teaching after my first lifetime and STILL have not written the first word of the book I have been planning to write since I was 11 years old. How's that for a run on sentence!!!!! My goal is to become an "eccentric character" in my golden years. My family has been so kind as to not tell me what they already think. I will quote from one of my favorite author's book, In The Bleak Midwinter by Julia Spencer-Fleming, "Oh, don't mind me , Reverend. I never felt I could speak my mind when I was teaching, so now that I'm retired, I'm making up for lost time."
(spoken by Miss Bristol) Of course, in my neck of the Alabama woods, we usually just call folks...peculiar. One whole side of my family is just a 'mite peculiar. Including me.
Back to my beginning. I'm sure you are wondering what that would be. I want to be an author when I grow up. I am a writer, because I write. I know I will be a published writer, if the good Lord gives me enough warning, because I plan to write my own obituary. But, I would like to write articles, poems, mysteries, suspense, thrillers - all of it - and be around to hear what is said about it; good, bad, or ugly. Like I said, I AM A WRITER, because I wrote this blog post and hopefully you read it!
