The Power of Words

Long time no write, at least in this forum. But writing I have been doing. Not necessarily the kind I enjoy.

In the past couple of months, I wrote a yearly Christmas letter. You didn't get one, no wonder. It was depressing. Last year wasn't the best.

Work has lead me to write lots of things and some where people undoubtedly wish I would not have such skill and verbosity.

I have composed many new lessons for work too.

Writing on my novels, I have done little, but I have done some editing and updated my office with paint and computer set-up for ease in my actual writing process.

I have started a love affair with my Kindle. I have gotten caught up on reading some of my writer friends' books that I was behind on. And I enjoyed them. I also read books given to me from a substitute teacher, the guy who sacks my groceries, and my mother.

Currently I am taking a short online class about incorporating humor in my writing. Something I believe I do well, but have learned new ideas anyway. The class has helped me name what it is that I do.

Oh, and I taught a lesson that was descriptive and vivid on the use of brain surgery that I caused a thirteen year old boy to pass out. I am glad he is okay. Really glad.

Now, I am going to work some more.

I have missed you blog-o-mine. Try not to be jealous of my Kindle!
