"I know," I squirm.
"You could just post every Tuesday and Thursday." Her eyes brighten with a little mischievous flicker.
"I do wriiite. I have lots of drafts."
"Then post one!" she giggles.
"I can't do that."
"Why?"
"'Cause they're all crappy, that's why."
She laughs, "I'm sure they're not, but how would I know if you don't post!"
I answer back with a quiet eye roll and a grin.
Nudges. Honesty. Smiles. Squirms. Laughs. Acceptance.
My mentor.
My dear dear friend.
My Ruth.
Oh Becca! You have such a talent for writing! How lucky can you get to have the number one best mentor by your side. You do need to write more, I bet those drafts are not so crappy. :-)
ReplyDeleteBecca, I hope you are thinking about returning to this little space. There's a whole quiet community of writers who are ready to welcome your return with wide-open arms.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you write.
Shine on,
Ruth
