A little bit about me.

I am not sure where to start.
Most of my writings have been for my eyes only and a few short stories submitted for fun contests.

I guess I will start with a little bit about me.

As my profile shows, I am a Mum of two daughters. They are beautiful and very artistic.
My eldest is 22 and is in university studying Art & all its forms.
My youngest is 18 and will be in university in the fall studying drama behind the scenes.
I am very proud of both of them. They are strong willed and determined.
Of course in my eyes they will always be my babies and I want to protect them from the harshness of life. I know that this is an unrealistic thought on my part. Life happens and there is not much we can do to avoid the trials and tribulations of it.
My husband and I have raised them to be independent, loving and caring of others.

My husband, he is so smart. He can fix anything. He gives the best hugs and always knows when I need one. He has strong supportive shoulders and like my girls, I worry about him every day.

So far this hasn’t been much about me.
Me. hmmm… what to say about me. I am 45 years old – I still can’t believe it!
I to this day don’t really know who I am or what my purpose is. I see my daughters who so young, know what they want and I still have not figured it out.
I do know I’ve always loved to write. From a young age writing my Gran letters to writing my diary every night. I’ve always been a note taker. I just love to write – anything. Be it lists, ideas, thoughts, recipes I make up, whatever it may be – there is always pens and paper nearby.

I have tried on 5 occasions to write a book but I always get to a point where I don’t know where to take it. Or I will have a great ending but no idea how to start it.
I love to read, especially before bed when I get the chance. I must have 30 books next to my bed. There isn’t a style I like specifically, but I do enjoy true stories or even fictionalized true stories, if that makes sense.

My main problem is, I don’t like to let others read what I write. I become very self conscious and embarrassed.

I will do my best to put down thoughts, ideas, maybe even a short story or two that I hope will be worth reading.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know a little bit about me.

    Hey Nina family support is so important.

    That is so true Mel. Thank you for your support :)

    It sounds to me you have the makings of a writer. You admitted the insecurities that most writers face, myself included. You seem to lead a very interesting life and are very supportive of your family. Here is an idea, why not write a memoir story? :)

    Thank you very much Erin for your kind words.
    I have thought of writing a memoir but really do not know where to start or what exactly to mention.
    I will have to work on it. Thank you.
