As a 79 year old romantic, I have always been an avid reader and written my own love stories in my secret diaries and entertained my high school friends with gift writings which I never kept a copy. In high school and college I was a prolific letter writer to pen pals and boy friends. (Sometimes in long, long rolled up tubes with pasted on cartoons added from magazines.) I wrote a book for children and typed it on primer typewriter, which was never returned to me --- but I was graded A and given an A for the creative writing class. I wrote a family history for my father's father landing from Sweden to Mobile, Alabama and had news pilctures of the ship to back it up. I found a lady who at sixteen knew my grandfather at her mother's boarding house. I really need to rewrite this history. I have written many short stories about my maternal grandfather and his strong influence on my life and memories. All have been accepted favorably by listeners and readers.
My early goals were to write children's books and teach music. Instead, I taught school 34 years , married and had four beautiful children.
I DO WANT TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I ENJOYED YOUR WRITING. IT CAPTIVATED ME . I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. IT IS NOW 3:30 am and I must tell you now or at 79 years old I may forget. or put this aside as I have always done with my writings, giving them much less value than I should have all my life.
Whistler's mother did not take up art till her 80th year so it is not too late for me to seriously write. I have promised one of my six grandchildren that I would write my memories and dedicate it to her. She loves my tales and my dancing .......another story there. I am a devoted Mardi Gras Ball and parade street corner dancer here in Mobile, Alabama. Another series of memories.....for stories.
I hope I have not rambled past your interest . I write what I think, not for your enjoyment but for my own. Forgive me Nancy Jean Miller.....nmiller1135@gmail.com.
