I would have loved to said something that was funny and smart that would make others laugh and think at the same time. However, I have a rather dry sense of humor and I forget the punchline to jokes all the time.
I wish I’d said:
I love crafts and doing them with my niece and nephews. I think I had more fun with it than they did. I’ve done them for years and will probably continue to do them until the arthritis in my knuckles stops me from finishing them.
I wish I’d said:
I love animals, dogs, cats, horses, but not bugs, mice and snakes. Those make my skin crawl.
I wish I’d said:
How the words in the stories I read as a child painted pictures in my head and then splashed over to my heart. They lifted me up and carried me away to places I couldn’t even imagine existing.
Reading grounded me and kept me safe when my life wasn’t so secure. It let me dream I could be anything and do anything that my heart desired.
I wish I’d said:
I helped raise some of my nieces and nephews and I fostered that love of reading.
I wish I’d said:
Each and every day, I know just how blessed I am. It makes me a good friend to the people I am lucky enough to know.
I wish I’d said:
I’m so glad to have such an awesome faith. When I was at my lowest point, I did what may well be my best writing thus far.
I wish I’d said:
I like encouraging other writers because I know what the encouragement offered to me has meant to me. I love the pay-it-forward philosophy. the writing community rocks.
I wish I’d said:
How heart breaking my job at the Social Services was and how typing reports about those kids made me a better person.
Since I didn’t on the interview, here are the things I wish I’d said.
