Truth be told I was never much of a student. But I acquired a love a writing as I journeyed and journal-ed my way through a personal tragedy. That journey eventually led me to this blog. Mostly I do my writing for personal pleasure and this blog is a doorway to a vast community of people, very nice people.
I'd like to think between my life's experience and my enthusiastic albeit basic abilities with the written word; that I might now and again actually do what good ole Mr. Franklin says......
That is a great quote.
ReplyDeleteI went to school to be a nurse...no writing whatsoever.
I started writing because it was therapy.
Now it's an addiction ;)
The community that followed is a beautiful thing ;)
Oh shit we're twins!
DeleteStarted in therapy-check
Like an addiction-check
Beautiful community-check
Two gorgeous women- you bet you ass!
thank you Jen, it's a great quote to begin my day.
ReplyDeleteA bit of inspiration to those of us who write all the time.
DeleteLove the quote.
ReplyDeleteI have a pencil, that I keep on my desk, that reads "Write to be Heard". I love it!
And blogging is a great way to be heard and to journal.

I love it! That's a great quote for me to live by! Thanks for linking up, I always enjoy your posts :)
ReplyDeleteJen I've done more writing in my blog than I ever have in several pretty journals laying around all over the place. I love it out here. Love the quote you chose too.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard that quote before, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to write in a journal, but no matter many times I've tried I've always been too lazy to keep up with it!
ReplyDeleteI think people have to have a need to journal, your just to darn happy....this is good :)
DeleteI have never heard of this quote. S simple, so true!
ReplyDeleteI really, really like that quote! I can't believe I have never heard that one before.
ReplyDeleteI love that quote. You are right. Sometimes the things that drive us to write are ... tragic. But - then we find that writing is good for us :)
