Writing

Writing can be a way to make sense of your life. This is what it always has been for me. It's like having a conversation with people regarding what you might be the most interested in in that moment (or not). But, you are processing information. You are not necessarily going somewhere you don't want to go. So, there is this freedom to writing that I like. If you aren't getting paid for your writing you can literally take it any direction you want to. You can publish or not anything you write. I didn't publish anything until I almost died at age 50 and was forced to retire. So, I began to publish online when I realized how stupid it would be to never publish and then I would be dead. So, my fears of publishing for one reason or another just seemed stupid beyond belief.

My wife is a perfectionist and likely a much better writer than me. Also, she has a master's degree and I don't. In fact, I don't see myself (at least at this point) as a writer at all. I see myself as a good storyteller but not really a good writer because I'm not a good editor of my work or anyone else's. So, I presently see myself as a good storyteller because this is a skill both my father and Grandfather also had which was something very desirable for men before the radio was invented. Since my Grandad was born in the 1870s this begins to make more sense. Then my father's storytelling ability is interesting to me because he was valedictorian of his high School class in Seattle.

So, my wife could never have a blog site like this because everything would have to be perfect. For me, it doesn't have to be perfect because it is the telling of the story, sharing with people what I feel important in any given moment that is important, not making every detail perfect.

So, for me, an only child it is about communicating with the world what I find important in that moment.

My goal would be to try to help prevent human extinction. I'm not alone in the goal by the way.

It's a way to make sense of my own life to help humans go on living on earth and on other planets and dimensions.

By God's Grace
