Unfortunately, there’s no “yellow brick road” to follow. I’ve come to forks in the road, traffic circles, jug handles (if you live in NJ), driven down one way streets going the wrong way, broken down on the side of the road, ran out of gas and for days remained snowed in up to the windows.
My education had nothing at all to do with my life’s various careers. In grammar school I was good at math and a great speller. Who knew in this 21st century it would be obsolete?
Later on, Australians were cool, so I married one. We had kids and got divorced. He moved. I got the kids and furniture, a job, things big and small, earth shaking, mind boggling, clothing, feeding (them, their friends and pets), homework, shopping, laundry, cleaning, regular ER visits and uh, let’s see, anything else? Oh, yeah….EVERYTHING.
So now I have married kids and several grandchildren. Some of them like me, some of them don’t. Hey, you can’t please everyone. A word to the wise…..don’t bother trying, it doesn’t make a difference. No really, it doesn’t. Of course, it goes without saying I love them all unconditionally. And they’re so considerate; they allow me to prove it constantly!
There are stories all around us. Everyone is a story. Your past influences your future. You never know when you’re going to be writing about a character that was just like that someone you knew long ago that teased you, made you cry, you liked and then hated and blah, blah, blah, etc., etc., etc.
It’s all in there somewhere. And when it starts to come out……Surprise, you’re an Author!!view less
