MY NEWEST FAVOURITEST SAYING

Bubbie Channah says that I started talking full sentences at nine months. And that I opened my eyes and my mouth at the same time.

I think if I would have been an American Indian, (is that still politically correct?) I would have wanted to be the Storyteller. I love stories. I love words. I love reading them, writing them, and listening to them. Especially if they're smart.

So, I started writing them down. What great fun. After using my mouth and ears all day long solving problems, I just sat down at the computer and in the silence used my eyes and fingers and created a network of friends all over the world.

Then I decided that I really really really wanted to write. Seriously write. Oh, trust me, I can tell a humdinger of a story. I can make you laugh, cry, gape in wonder...you name it I can tell it.

But writing takes not only talent but craft. So I started looking around for a writing group. You know the old saying, 'When the pupil is ready the teacher appears' ?. Well, one day two years ago I found David. ..my mentor...the leader of my creative writing group.

And I started writing. Boy oh boy did I start writing.

And added to my collection of owls...of course I do...don't all witches have owls? Where was I? Oh, yes. Added to my collection of owls I decided to add words and phrases.

Here are a few of the thoughts I've gathered along the way:
1. Ever notice that 'what the hell' is always the right decision?...marilyn monroe
2.---ducking for apples---change one letter and it's the story of my life...dorothy parker
3. Be careful abut reading health books. You may die of a missprint....mark twain
4. The toilets have gone anal-retentive again! Dee would shout when they would decline to flush...Sue Monk Kidd (The Mermaid Chair)

AND MY ALL TIME NEWEST AND LATEST BESTEST OF THE BEST:

Just because you have one, doesn't mean you have to be one.

Bada Boom!

Have a great day...stay safe...and thanks for dropping in.
