It has been a long time since I have blogged. Never considered myself a writer. But...I have been reading Ernest J Gaines books and after reading "Mozart and Leadbelly" I have been inspired to write once more. I am in the process of writing the memoirs from my childhood. So many of my family have heard the stories, but I thought I should write them down for the future generations. Sat down and wrote about 5 pages this afternoon. Never believed I could write, but the words just came. Every once in a while I will write some of it on this blog. Some of the stories are very funny , some of them are pathetic. Keep an eye out for the first installment soon.
I wouild suggest anyone who is interested in the conditions in the South between 1930's and 1970's read Ernest J Gaines' books..especially "The Autiobiography of Miss Jane Pittman" and
" A Gathering of Old Men". Don't know how I missed reading these before.
Will write the first installment of my memoirs in a few days.
