Write on

What do you enjoy most about writing?

A few weeks back WP congratulated me on 16 years with them. I had no idea. Blogs have come and gone over the years, most of them deleted. Tomorrow though I will have reached a 200 day streak. So it looks like I may be here to stay this time. I thank you all who have joined me. I’m meeting some cool people here. Like minded souls trying to make sense of this world. Our world, as we see it.

As long as I can remember I have loved reading and writing. ( Sadly, at present reading books is taking a back seat) My first real story was when I was about 10..of course there is a story behind that too, which I will keep for another day.

But as Mae ( you maybe subscribed to her) has already said this morning it’s finding that one space, that’s yours. Free airspace not clouded by others. She’s right, with the stars aligned; time, space, place, a steady pace of life where writing just slips on in there like the most natural thing in the world.Allowing those thoughts and ideas to surface. No holds barred. Letting them out, leaving a less cluttered area in my head.

Im a bit dismayed many are using so much AI for their blogs ( I don’t fear AI at all. Quite the contrary I’m slightly in awe of it) It just feels we may be losing authenticity. Losing the voices with their own stories to tell. Heavens only knows how journalists the world over must feel as they see their craft disappear.

But that’s simply my humble opinion. There’s no stopping AI now.

Each morning I throw open the windows, doors and dusty cupboards in my head and see what can be made of our Daily Prompt..as natural as breathing.

  1. Well congrats to you, wow, well done!

    I am very very new to blogging , I also love writing as it is soothing, unscrambles my mind, and I’ve actually found that I have stories to tell. So I’m just starting out, navigating WP, and I like your writing very much
