All about me, as at August 17 2020 (subject to change without notice).
I am witty.
Or so I’ve been told. Often. And since I was very young.
I have been writing stories since I was 8 years old. Mostly for me, well exclusively for me, but I have always enjoyed the written word. I like to read. I love to write.
Before I retired, I was frequently asked to write articles for the office newsletter. I did. I got paid to write. I was paid in coffee, but paid none the less. The definition of a Professional Anything is that one gets paid to do it.
Therefore, I am a Professional Writer.
I am a Professional Witty Writer.
A Professional Writer with Wit?
A Professional Writer that can be witty most of the time and amusing some of the time. But, alas, I can also cross the line – that ever-elusive line that you don’t know where it is until you’ve crossed it line.
Everyone told me that I should keep writing when I retire. I should write so they can read my musings about life and love and me and whatever. They want to stay in touch with me. And who wouldn’t? But the only way they can read my witty, funny writings without me going through all the nonsense of sending them to everyone I ever met in an email is to blog.
Hence, here it is. My blog.
But just to be clear, I started writing for myself, so I shall end writing for myself. It’s not that I don’t care if you agree with what I say, or like what I say, or think I am witty, or funny, or want to come back to read my blog. It’s that in Today’s World, someone will always be offended by something. It’s the New Normal. Along with masks and social distancing. Fortunately, the masks and the distancing will eventually go away.
Alas, I fear the Easily Offended will never go away. I’ll call them The Easy Offs!
But I am not a monster, I don’t relish people hurting people, especially people hurting me and my feelings. I don’t want to know that you don’t like my writings. Or me. As they say, “Your opinion of me, is none of my business”. Therefore, I am not activating the contact page on my site. For now. Things change, people change and I may in the future want to hear how much you admire me, so I might let you contact me at a later date.
I know, I am just so gracious!
