It’s time once again for Weekend Coffee Share.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you how delighted I was last week to connect with so many of you on my maiden excursion into Weekend Coffee Share! Thanks to everyone who welcomed me and responded to my post. I was hoping to open up some interaction with other bloggers, and you didn’t disappoint me.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I was also delighted to discover that many of you are writers. You helped me gather up enough courage to announce that I, too, am a writer and have chosen 2017 as the year I concentrate seriously on that work. At the beginning of the year I joined The Writing Cooperative on Medium so that I could participate in their 52-Week Writing Challenge. I’m a Virgo, which means I’d good at keeping my word, so committing to write an entry a week for the challenge has helped me. My work is here. If any of you would care to take a look, I’d appreciate it.
If we were having coffee, I’d say thanks once again for listening. I’m still working on developing my writer’s voice, and the Weekend Coffee Share is another exercise I’m using for that purpose.
And I’d also say that I hope everyone has a good week until next weekend!

Retreading for Retirement 
As someone who is not very good at “opening up” to others, I found it very difficult to announce to the world that I wanted to be a writer. Writing is extremely personal and it comes from the deepest areas of the soul. But, I am very glad I did announce it because the support I have received has been incredible. I wish you all the best with your writing journey!

Every time I tell my fellow Friday Fictioneers or writer friends that I’m not a real writer, they set me straight! OK… so I’ve not published anything – yet!
Good for you on doing the Medium Writing Challenge (darn… I should have read my emails and signed up myself!
