I am taking a writing course in order to attempt to enjoy
and share another of my passions…writing.
The course is Tribewriters by Jeff Goins. I hope to publish something someday. So here it goes for today’s assignment which
is about finding our voice.
Three adjectives that would best describe me is
nature-loving, simplistic and active in many ways. I do my best to stay in shape and I love to
go places, travel…see new things..discover the awesomeness of the world that
the Dear Lord provides for us. I don’t do well in winter here when I can’t get
out and do things without being cold but I love the four seasons…if only the
winters were shorter and the summers longer.
I’m still trying to figure out exactly where this global warming thing
is because it sure wasn’t in my neighborhood this winter. Actually, I think all the effort to fix the
global warming took it a bit too far and now we have global freezing. Maybe I need to start using aerosol hairspray
again.
My ideal readers…my tribe that would follow my writings and
words would be ones that have the same passion for nature, for the beauty of
the world in any season. They will gain
and feel my passion for the outdoors as simple or as complicated as it can
be. They will ask me questions that will
make me research and find the answers to them so I can share and educate them
with while I also will be learning. My
tribe will also teach me in return new things, new places, new fun or gory
facts about whatever. My tribe will
follow me ..well…through the woods and over the hills to grandma’s house and
back on every possible route we can find to take.
On the way we will discover new ways or just share ways to
stay healthy, activities and recipes and maybe even some natural remedies that
work as individuals or as a tribe. They
will also laugh at my simple little ‘funnies’
quirky as they may be and they will share laughing moments with me.
My favorite authors, well…from a fictional perspective Janet
Evanovich in her number series because it has such a mix of adventure, love and
hilariousness all mixed together and is such a feel good read. JK Knowlings of
course because I love the mystical world
of magicians and gnomes.
Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, Ralph Waldo Emerson all
inspire me from a nature writing perspective.
An author of sorts that many may not know from a photography venue is
Scott kelby. He provides wonderful facts related to my other passion in a easy
to read technical manner that is also actually funny in his own way…making it
relaxing and fun to learn.
My cultural influences I am not sure of really. Heinz 57
maybe..a mish mash of Polish, German and stubborn Dutchman as my Grandpa used
to call my Grandma who was really French.
My creative influences and the one that influenced who I am more than
anything was my Grandpa who loved the birds and photography and the out
doors. Oh how I miss him and can’t wait
until the day we can pick wild mushrooms and asparagus on the side of heavens
roads together again some day.
So..this was pretty
much free written without thinking much about it while also answerwing some of
te questions on our assignment.
