I can identify with at least a couple, with one being grammar. My kids coined me “the grammar police” when they were in school and asking me to proofread essays. It may or may not have spilled over into daily life as well.
The other is loving cats. I have had dogs, but am partial to cats. They do their own thing and make great company because they aren’t demanding. However, they like to curl up in the most in opportune places occasionally (like behind my monitor). My cat is almost 20 lbs and he tends to rearrange my desk when he’s getting comfy. 😂
One thing I have learned recently about writing is to get out of my own way. Substack has been good for me because I can make 101 excuses not to publish something; and everyone here says just hit publish. I’ve been an AWAI member for years, and it was an article on AWAI that brought me to Substack.
I’m an introvert and having the support of others here has been great.
Hi, Diane! It's always great to meet another AWAI member. And I can soooo relate to being called the grammar police! That's what my kids call me too. (I've given up on grammar in their text messages and it kills me.) I'm happy to hear you have a lovely feline writing companion. I would too, if my kids weren't all allergic, but I love my two pups. I'm so glad AWAI led you to Substack. 😊
I’m glad AWAI told me about Substack too. It’s given me a place to share without judgement, and I’ve learned a lot from others about slowing down and appreciating all that life has to offer.
