My thoughts released; a mind set free |
| It's been a pretty good day. I've been wanting to write a story, just a short one for some time, but I just couldn't get anything going. Today, however, I was thinking about a situation a friend had with a bear many years ago and decided I'd write about it in my blog. Of course, the idea came while I was in town shopping, so I figured I'd forget or lose it by the time I got home. I know, too much negative energy; but that's the way it's been going. But, as I waited in line to pay for my goods, my mind drifted back to the incident and the memories became clearer. I was interrupted my the cashier, "Are you ready to check out?" "Sorry, I stammered." I was a bit embarrassed I'd gotten lost in thought. "That's okay, is everything alright?" "Yeah, I was just thinking about a friend who had a bear break into her house a long time ago." Smiling, she said, "Really? That would be scary." I told her, "Everything worked out alright except for a lot of damage. In fact, after my friend told me, I thought it was kind of funny." By this time I was holding up the line. "I'd like to rear more about it, but it looks like I'm not going to get the chance." I paid her for the items I had and said, "I was thinking of writing a story about it." I stepped out of the way, but she signaled me to wait. "Do you have a few minutes." I nodded and waited off to the side until the customers had finished and left. "So, you're a writer?" I told her I was, but not published. I explained about the site and how I write stories here. She wrote down Writing.Com and my user name after we had talked a bit and told me I better write the bear story so she could find out how it ended. I told her I would write it after I got home. "I like to write, I'll check out the site and who knows?" I don't know if she will check up on the story or not, but maybe she will also join our community. |
