ahhh what though?
While in UAE I started to piece together the outline for a story. Y'know..we all have a book in us, right?
So the saying goes, anyway
When I got back to Thailand and home, after retiring, for the first time, I had time to flesh out my lil' story idea. The notion of writing something, anything, that people might be interested to read struck me a a good challenge.
My parents instilled the idea of 'leaving a mark on society' for the future. OK I built TD Towers and that's a pretty big statement, but not widely known outside the Teak Door circle and my own FB/LinkedIn/Insta, etc.
My dad was always interested in words, new words and meanings and had a fabulous vocabulary and he encouraged me to do likewise. Maybe that why i'm such a crossword nut. I absorb global information and coupled with my travels, well if theres a general knowledge crossword or a quiz team event to enter...I am in heaven and I'm there!
My mum also told me to follow my dreams, and that included something with the written word.
So now the history was in place, the encouragement was there, and my desire to write...something... was stronger than ever.
Finally...the jigsaw was completed as at last...I had the time to try my hand at writing.
(Not sure if I have this thread in the right section but... lol... too late now because I started!)
