no. 166 writing

When i was young i liked to write.  I'd amuse myself writing stories as a youngster.  As a teenager it was poetry i wrote.  that lasted nearly two decades, and always there was a journal, and long letters.  and that silly novella.  i apparently had lots to say in those days  i don't know what happened but i went from being prolific (though poor) writer to being someone who can't write a shopping list without an effort.  i've spent years writing nothing more challenging than emails, brief and to the point. not at all like the so called writing i used to do.
