 The awesome co-hosts for the January 8 posting of the IWSG are Rebecca Douglass, Beth Camp, Liza @ Middle Passages, and Natalie @ Literary Rambles!
Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays! My new year’s resolutions are to edit and re-release my first book and go wide instead of sticking to Amazon. Do you have a resolution? January 8 question - Describe someone you admired when you were a child. Did your opinion of that person change when you grew up? There were people I loved and respected, but I don’t know that I ever admired any real life person. All my admiration was saved for fictional characters. The one I admired most was Captain Jean Luc Picard. Open-minded, brave, and cultured, Picard represented the best of humanity. I wanted to be like him when I grew up. I already knew plenty of Shakespeare, I liked tea (earl grey, hot), and I loved the idea of exploring the universe. Being the captain of a starship…now, that was freedom! My opinion hasn’t changed. My life may look nothing like Picard’s, but inside, I’m still trying to become more like him.

Nice. When I was a kid, like you, I was inspired by those rows and rows of library books, starting with adventuresome heroes like Jack Sperry. I always wanted to sail around the Horn. Then, just about a decade ago, my hubby took me on a 6-month indie travel to South America and around the Horn. What a thrill. Like you, the written word calls me. Let's keep writing! Oh, and about resolutions? Not yet, but I'm getting closer! Happy 2025! 1/8/2025 08:06:31 pm
I struggled with the question because I couldn't think of someone that I really admired. Maybe my dad, but I think he was more just a good role model for me. Jean Luc Picard is a good choice. He's a fantastic character. Leave a Reply. |
