I’ve been complimented on my writing since elementary school, taken college classes on writing, and attended writers’ conferences. Professors have ended a final lecture with the suggestion, “Don’t keep your writing in a drawer,” and one professor said something like, “You’ve taken in words throughout your life, give some back.”
What a novel idea to declutter the files and drawers filled with paper in my home and post past work in my blog! I’ll throw out the hard copy with a note to myself, DP, for drawer pull meaning that I may have written a piece over 30 years ago. If there is a date available I’ll include it. I hope that some readers find my work enjoyable.
