5-minute freewrite Day 886 prompt: Procrastination

in #freewrite6 years ago (edited)

It has been quite some time since I wrote a freewrite. I can't say it has been procrastination. No, I've simply been busy with other things. As mentioned before, somewhere, I've been taking a class about writing one's memoirs. Really, all of us just needed someone to give us a push in the right direction, and to be accountable to, and we dove in and wrote and wrote and wrote. Unfortunately, after five weeks the class had to be cancelled due to the coronovirus panic, but I am continuing to write my memoirs, and to read the book that is part of our "homework." I do miss hearing the other ladies read their stories out loud in class. It was amazing to learn what some of them have been through! Sad things, tragic things, hilarious things. Many are in their 80s, and their younger years were vastly different from mine. I truly enjoyed hearing about their early lives, and am sorry we can't do that any more. The teacher is trying to set up an online blog where we can still share our stories, but it won't be quite the same as in person. Well, we have to make the best of the situation, don't we? Life is a little different right now, and I sometimes wonder if it will ever be the same as it was. I do prefer this slower pace of life.
