good morning. i have decided it's time to write that book. [View all]
so, i am the sort of person who has reinvented themselves many times. i just turned 65, and think i might be on my last reinvention.
i have a definition of a life well lived, for me.
raise one child, build one building and write one book.
i think everyone should write their own story. i am blessed w a genetic heritage of words. i sing my people's song. irish, irish, irish, irish. my dad was a great story teller, all us kids got high test scores in language, all my kids are great readers and writers. so i feel my tools are sharp enough.
as it happens, in my trials of mmj, i find that the best strains poke me in my language centers. not just word choices, but spelling and typing w more ease and speed. so, yeah, carpe this diem.
my first decision is which life to write about. like i said, i have had many, and many contain good stories w/in them.
i thought you might get a chuckle out of my first day's work product as i sort through this dilemma.
to my mothers everlasting regret, my father infected me at a very early age w the ability to believe in dreams.
book 1- i sing my peoples song. an irish, irish, irish girl gets her irish up.
book 2- moahs ark. another chapter in the book of crones.
book 3- punky the monster puppy, an illustrated childrens book.
book 4-i have fallen for a data point in the demise of civiilzation.
book 5- once there was a noodle man
book 6- the quirky sculpture and heroic paintings of artist mo cahill
book 7- a series- a sweet old lady commits crimes of righteous indignation, but is never caught.
book 8- a series- an old lady gets a chance to redeem her goodie 2shoes youth. books include- mind blowing sex after 60, mico and aunt maureen, at the old hippies home.
that first sentence is something i wrote in my head many years ago, and filed away to be the first sentence of this book.
