Throwback Thursday: Writing

I’m going way back to my seventh grade writing class taught by my friend’s mom, Ann (quite possibly the best writing teacher ever). I discovered this piece of writing during my annual January Closet Purge. Boy, did P and I giggle as we read and re-read my old writing samples. My handwriting has improved since then, I think, but much has remained the same.

Writing update:

  1. I still love to write.
  2. I no longer write, while in a writing fit, on the toilet.
  3. Writing before bed is no longer realistic. I write best in the mornings. By Friday I can barely stay awake long enough for my head to hit the pillow.
  4. I no longer prefer writing with pens. I love the click, click, click of the keyboard.
  5. I still like to write surrounded by people and activity. Ideally in a cafe or coffee shop, but lately the noise and activity is all provided by my son.
  6. I don’t like to spy on people with “binocks”, but I do love it when people leave their drapes open so I can see what they did with their living room.
  7. I’m not sure what apple picking has to do with the writing process, but it’s still fun.
  8. I still <3 free writing.

  1. I loved the “and apple picking too.” The assignment was probably something like , write about what you love, and you realized you only mentioned one thing and you were running out of room. Whatever, it was fun to read.

  2. How wonderful to re-read a part of your past thoughts. It’s interesting to hear when people find the best time to write. I hope this will always be your passion to have a time to put your thoughts on paper.
