What Writing Means to Me

When I retired from a very demanding corporate life, I wondered what was next for me. I was used to daily activities that challenged my brain and provided the satisfaction of accomplishment. I needed a way to keep that going so I decided to learn how to be a writer. It has been the best decision of my life. It has given me the opportunity to nourish my curiosity, learn new ways of expressing myself, create something meaningful for others and best of all, be in the company of a whole new tribe of people who are smart, funny, supportive, encouraging and loving. A bonus I couldn’t have envisioned prior to the pandemic is the myriad of webinars and classes available online. Each day I can choose to write or learn or be in the company of other writers; all from the comfort of my home. As someone who is now 82 (I know, how did that happen?), I count that as a real plus.
