So I write this little blog and refer to myself as a freelance writer on my Facebook page. Ah, the beauty of the internet where you can say anything and declare it to be true.
Anyway, I write this little blog and do some freelance stuff as a volunteer for the CCO, but to date have yet to earn a dime as a writer. All eight of you who stop by and read my blog from time to time know that I sometimes have issues with things like grammar, syntax, or simply making any sense whatsoever. I know I've got work to do to feel like I've earned the street cred I need to call myself a bona fide writer.
In any case, a friend of mine--we'll call her Ethel (and we'll refer to me as Lucy--you get the idea), took an idea from this post about talking with the elderly and recording their stories. Ethel needed to design a classroom service project for an education course she was taking and decided to use the idea of having students interview nursing home residents. She told another friend, who is a teacher, and that friend decided to implement Ethel's idea in her classroom.
So, bona fide or not, and having an appalling lack of dimes to show for my efforts, today I'm happy to call myself a writer. And thankful to all eight of you who show up now and then and read me. And aren't I doing a nice job with my hyper-linking?
Love, Lucy

Hi Nancy, this is really good stuff. I think you are a writer and I'm sure more than 8 people read your posts, haha. Anyways, you asked me about my art. I paint, oil-paints mostly. I love making things and I've put various items on the blog. I've yet to post any of my paintings. I will someday, though. I've made a handful of dimes from my work, but I doubt I'll hang in a museum or that my great-grandchildren will make any dimes at Antiques Roadshow. Lol! Like you, I create for the love of it.
