100 Day Write A Book Challenge

Boy, was I in for a surprise… There I was — little insignificant me, listening to podcasts every turn I got when I heard a name that I’ve come to love.

The Write Practice.
The name came to me through the grapevine at the right place in my life.
I had been a ‘wife and mother’ for a long time; a job I took to heart, and which I did well, methinks. Alongside that job, I was also a teacher newly retired from a 20-year career. It was then that it dawned on me that my little boys were now young men.

The package of ‘wife and mother’ IS by far the best time of my life, but being in the right place in my life made me receptive to new things and it afforded me the luxury of allowing them in.

So that Spring, TWP was holding a contest in one of its forums, but in order to participate, I needed to get on Facebook. Hmm. I mulled the idea over for a few days without saying a word to anyone, I wanted to do this on my own. Hmm.
Unsure of everything ‘technology’ I searched for a brave picture of myself and opened up to the idea of a Facebook account for me and my toes to be let into the Becoming Writers Forum.
