I just read an article…by my friend…ChristyBirmingham…about…walking into a pole on a walk…and…it got me to thinking…for me…as
a writer…nothing is wasted…literally no life event…no matter how embarrassing…gets
put in file thirteen…it shows up on the page…eventually…albeit…often disguised…
I suppose that’s a good thing…it
certainly brings a level of…humanity…to my writing…but…sometimes…I wonder…does
sharing my…darkest…goofiest…moments…leave my readers with the impression…of me
as…inept…neurotic…bumbling…
Bertha…says…not to worry…my writing…doesn’t make
people think that way about me…no…she…says…they…already…knew
those things…and…they loved me anyway…
She’s quite the comedian…geez…

I have one of those files too. my favorite I have one of silly dialogue, funny events even just words I like..
ReplyDeleteCathy...I love to pull those ideas out...I have a computer folder...that started out as a 'tickler' file...but...that made me think of 'Tickle Me Elmo'...so now it is the'Elmo' file!
