My goodness.   2017 was the last uear i made posts.  Now it is 2025.   I think it is amazing that the blog is still here.    Im not sure how I want to use the space now.   I do want to write more.   Sometimes I think I could be a writer.   I certainly have done a lot of writing in my day.   Working as a therapist required writing about the conversations  you had in therapy with them.  Documentation is a big part of the job.   I also did a little mit of my own diary.   However when I think of being a writer, I am more thinking of wirting a book.  That kind of writing.   I wonder what I should do to explrore this more.   I wonder what I can do to get clear about whether I want to be a writer.   It is kind of like art, ainting.  I have  heard so many artists say that when it comes to art, the more you practice the better you get.  I think some of that probably applies to writing.  When I was in high school I was a pretty good writer.   I was actually entered in a national writing contest by my teachers.   It was a writing assighment that had something to do with selecting a book and talking about why it is meaningful.  I can't exactly remember the directions, but I do remember I selected the book., Johathan Livingston Seargull.   I knew it wasn't very brofound or classic.   A popular recent  novel that was actually touching peoples hearts and sould.   I didn't win, which didn't surprise me.   I took an English class of some kind in College.  The college course was actually a dual enrollment class for high school and college credits.  It was in a local community college in South east Florida.   The Professor gave the class an assignment for a short story of some type.   My first paper only yearned a C with soem pretty specific critisicms.   I was amazed and devestated!  I had never gotten less than an A in any english or writing class.  I  read the remarks on the paper and I thought I understood them, so on the next paper I actually tried to apply them,  the result was 180* improvment.   A perfect paper.   

The next major writing advneture was a Dissertation in my doctorate program.   I really had to challenge my self to get through that.   That kind of writing is also very difficult.   It took a very long time for me to get the handg of that kind of writing.    

Maybe I will give some thoughts to what I would write.   Or perhaps I can just free flow for a while.   I guess one of the questions i have is what would I write about and then would people be interested in it.   I wouldn't want to write and it be a bomb.   I would want someone to be honest with me.   I know authors get rejected multiple times.   Thats ok.  I could handle that.   

Well let me know if you read this.
