Most of my writing is done as a form of communication, via texting, Facebook, IG, and emailing. There are times when I write only when I have to for work or school. Joan Didion said “she writes to make sense of all the pictures in her head.” I honestly wish that this was the case for me. I am more of a talker than I am a writer. Maybe I should start writing things down as I think them instead of talking my husband ears off. Here are a few examples on why I write. Facebook: A nice sunny day driving with my car radio on listening to one of my favorite station a song comes on that I’m really loving I start to sing along …..I’m living proof grace wins every time…. (Air drumming a few head banging) singing and driving a light bulb goes off (ting) this would make a really great Facebook status. Driving and hoping I catch a red light and making sure my phone is near. I see yellow normally I take but because want to make this status I slow down and grabbed my phone and opened the Facebook app and started to write. Wait how did it go again? Oh yeah I’m living proof…(beeeeep, beep, beep) oh shoot green light. I floor it before someone get out of their car in anger. After being called names that are not on my birth certificate I decided to wait on finishing my status. I arrived at my destination and was able to finish writing and post my status.
Texting: At the market deciding what I want, I almost never make a list. A habit that needs to be broken. Me: Hey I’m at the market what do want for dinner? Hubby: Which market Me: Giant Hubby: ummm I don’t know surprise me. (rolling my eyes and sighing) I hate when he tells me to surprise him, because he is the pickiest eater I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. There’s no surprising him when it comes to food, because every time I have ever tried to has led to an argument. Me: I need a little more than that babe Him: It don’t matter just get something good. …….few minutes later Me: Grilled chicken alfrado it is Him: I don’t really feel like chicken today Me: Get home with some frozen turkey burgers because he don’t eat beef.
