You can expect to hear - nay, rely on hearing, "Oh, I wish I could write." Followed by a wistful smile that clearly says, "Sucker. Wasting your time on that!" To those others who clearly would like to write, I fix with a beady, squinted stare and reply, "Everyone has a story! What's yours? Write it down!" For some reason people seem to drift away after that … still haven't figured it out.
Today I read an entry about stories that one could write on a postcard. Here is the one that is appropriate albeit a little long to use in an actual conversation. It's the thought that counts. And this column is mine to express any I might have, no matter how deranged.
"There's a secret library filled with all of the books people meant to write but never found the time. No one has seen inside; no one knows if the shelves are full or empty, but they agree there's only one way to take out a book - WRITE!"
On a lighter note, see what you could do with this "postcard story."
"My mother was so proud when I joined up. She told me, "Everyone wants to marry a man in uniform!" and I didn't have the heart to tell her, "So do I"
Let your imagination roam as it will. Could you have written this? Did he (clearly a he) ever come out to his Mom? What happened then? Hit it!
