 |    My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum. |
| I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
| PROMPT March 29th Do you write like you talk? Blogging is inherently personal and therefore leaves a lot of room for your unique voice. How do you show your reader your personality through your writing? Hmmm, do I blog like I speak? Yes, I believe I do. As I compose my responses I pretend I'm conversing with some one, every one, other writers. At least that's what I tell myself when I try to intervene and question myself. Not all conversations are with me, myself, and I. I'm a temporarily self-isolated writer, not a crazy one! I like humour and I treasure a good laugh. I attempt to share that with my writing. No one can witness this, but I speak quickly, animatedly, and loudly. Sigh, I am admonished to shush, can you believe it? No I'm not Italian, but sometimes I gesture wildly and point and wave. I wouldn't say I'm excitable, I'm enthusiastic. Okay, at times I'm long-winded, too. I write of the everyday things, the vignettes, the foibles and faux pas. I seek to strike a common chord. Language and communication fascinate me, so I recreate dialogue. What people say and how they express themselves attract my attention. I ask questions. I like to use the exclamation point! |
