I struggle with this every day myself. I'm taking a couple of writing classes this semester at school, getting ready for the "real work" to come in August. These writing classes require a project, and I'm using the same story for both of them. I feel totally intimidated on a daily basis because my little story is such crap compared to the other students who have never taken a 30 year hiatus from writing. They are of course, 30 years younger than myself, as well. But it doesn't matter. My view, my story, is just as valid as theirs. Just as your view and your story is just as valid as mine. WRITE IT! No one else can write the story you can write. Let us share your viewpoint. But we can only do that if you put it down and share it with us.<br /><br />Much love,<br />Morgen<br />USAMorgen Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701068239606927212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-16277016673968799532012-04-12T09:56:43.774+01:002012-04-12T09:56:43.774+01:00I recognise that feeling Kim and you just have to ...I recognise that feeling Kim and you just have to stuff it away and believe in yourself.

Because you have the ability to make the normal and even the mundane really funny or interesting. Like hope said, not everyone has had the same experience; to you they may be boring but to someone else they might be amazing. Also, if you've been living with them for a while, they will have gotten old. Surely the first time you did that something or spoke to that someone it was interesting. Remember for the readers it will be the first time.
