Writing my thoughts out loud

Okay, this is the start of something new for me- writing my thoughts for others to see.

Basically I am a writer and a reader. I love to write and I love to read. I read pretty much anything and everything although contemporary fiction is not my favorite. I have written poetry, essays and journal entries for years but I have never shared them with anyone. I love to write in the stream of consciousness style. Maybe I am a coward or maybe I am a private person who doesn’t like to share my thoughts with everyone. I will have to think through what I want to share here.

Lately I have been writing long emails to friends. Email has changed things for me. I used to write long letters to friends and I love stationary and cards, but with email the replies are quicker and I can write faster on the computer than I can when I hand write. I find that very interesting as many of my friends tend to draft things on paper first then go onto the computer.

I am on a few list serves and find myself not responding when simple questions are asked. I tend to wait until something of more substance is asked before I respond. Then I can pretty much be very opinionated or rant about some topic that is dear to my heart.

I have very definite thoughts about my profession and have been a practicing library media specialist for over 35 years. It hardly seems possible that I have been in the business for that long.
