How well put, Susan! I couldn’t agree more! I do keep a side journal sporadically and think to myself some day it may be read by a grandchild or great grandchild … but my blog is far more interesting I think because I know there are readers.

I still remember the joy I felt at the age of six or seven when it dawned on me that someone had to be writing the books I loved to read, and I could be one of those people! That dream died hard. I’ve written newspaper columns, poetry, and tons of letters of recommendation–because I ultimately ended up being a teacher instead of a novelist. But still, I have always written something. And I am happy that the Internet has given us a way to have an audience, however small, for our writing. I was never one of those people who was happy to keep a journal and have zero readers. To me, a piece of writing that isn’t read is like that fake food that never gets eaten. It may look good, but it’s just not fulfilling its purpose.

I think it’s great that you identified a talent that you can enjoy early on!

I absolutely love reading your blog, it keeps me smiling the way you put things. It’s been too long since I’ve seen you. (Or much of any of the others in the family, really.) Hope all is well! Love ya!
