Writing an
autobiography is a dicey thing.
On one hand, it
could sound like I am the epitome of teaching (for twenty years), or an
adventurer who worked tirelessly by my husband’s side in our hotel in Ireland
(for three + years).
There is also the
part where our three children were born and raised, guided through some bumpy
roads, and netted us three grandchildren (I love that part).
I could make
myself appear to be a well-educated writer who is part of an elite group that
focuses on writing in the classroom (I bet you were thinking “elite group of
assassins), or I could go all humble and refer to my farm country roots with a
barn full of stories. (Now, there’s a
book to read when it gets published!)
No matter what is
chosen to go down on paper, none of it sounds real to me.
Basically, the
bits of my life experiences have been carefully chopped into pieces, tossed
into a blender, and ended up to where I am now.
Which is
here: Open Doors Anthology. I hope you enjoy my contribution, ”Cinder,
Ellie: An Exclusive”

Wow. Is that me? Thanks for highlighting me! Looking forward to the new anthology!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exotic looking creature you are. Wordsmithing and exoticism in the one package. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI never thought about being exotic...Thanks for the WOW, since I don't get that many about my looks!
DeleteThen the wrong people are looking.
DeleteI like the "authorly" image Susan. It looks like you "mean business"... congrats on the publication.
ReplyDeleteAuthorly--I love that. It's the new glasses.
DeleteSounds like you have a ton that could be written down, all kinds of experiences.
ReplyDeleteIf one lives long enough, and likes to write, then I do have a lot to write. Hope I live long enough.
DeleteA very COOL photo! Looking forward to reading the anthology.
ReplyDeleteI was experimenting with the camera and such on the lap top. Wasn't at all sure it would turn out okay. The anthology will be awesome.
