Writing Course

8/23/2010

I have enjoyed writing most of my life. When I was growing up, people actually wrote on pieces of paper and mailed them to family and friends. Stamps did not require a "small loan."

My aunt, in Florida, loved to get letters from me. She said that they were always filled with interesting observations about the things in my life. I did not write one page letters. They always went on for several pages. I always wrote like I talked. She loved it.

This might seem weird, but some of you will fully understand. I am "basically shy." I cover up being shy by being outgoing. I can be happy being left alone, but I never meet a stranger. I talk in elevators. I speak to total strangers that I do not know. Once, I was in an elevator and it shook a guy up so badly by talking to him that he got off on the wrong floor.

Okay, I know what you might be thinking. Did the guy get off on the wrong floor, or did he escape? LOL It was funny. He, like Elvis, was "all shook up."

Okay, I dropped this note in to tell you that I just signed up for a writing course. It is titled "Writing for Magazines." I have never explored that area of writing and decided to take a course from someone who has had many years experience writing for magazines. The class is very affordable and it does count as college credit.

Once I get my materials, I will keep you posted on how well it goes. I might be able to share something that helps you, too.

Have a great Monday!
