Saturday Writings

Today in my writing group we met author Margot Rabb. She is the author of a book we all shared and read together...Cures for Heartache. It was so incredibly interesting talking to an actual writer and getting to gain so much knowledge and insight from her about her craft.

I think her job is not unlike ours. We all have in the back of our minds the thoughts of the dishes needing washed, clothes to launder, meals to prepare, children to care for, and millions of the other things that could consume our day.

I desire to take more time and not worry so much about those things and concentrate more on the here and now. I sense in my daughter a desire to write and she certainly has a love of the written word even at age 5. I want to nurture her and create that time in a relaxed way for both of us.

I have found a passion for poetry that I didn't realize I possessed. I am going to embrace this and continue to write. My writing may never be published for public consumption, but for me to know that I was true and wrote will be satisfaction enough...but then again, wouldn't it be nice to see my name in print?
