Gives me a pick-me-up every time! I have been discouraged lately and feeling like it's not worth it, etc, but I'm trying to get over my funk this week and get back to the grind. The writing is always worth it to me when I don't let all the other stuff get in the way.

As for me, I was always writing, but I didn't go for it seriously until I made a decision to stop my serious painting career. A heartbreaking decision, really, but one I do not regret.Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-31791086307818983682016-05-25T12:31:17.074-07:002016-05-25T12:31:17.074-07:00Thank You Roland!!!!!!Thank You Roland!!!!!!Cathrina Constantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960849263181625782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-39345222720285712662016-05-25T12:30:52.014-07:002016-05-25T12:30:52.014-07:00Yes!!!!

I wrote most of my original short stories as a teenager - not published. My debut novel was released when I was 60, and now at 63 I'm still going...trying for number 2. All my age has done is add some experience but that still has to be applied.

I loved her quirky black humour and mourned that she hadn't started earlier. <br />Age? A number. And I am only barely numberate. Literate, but barely numerate.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
