Rummaging Through the Past
January 6, 2010
So I was cleaning out a closet the other day (the new year always sets me on the urge to purge) and I stumbled across a box of old stories and research papers. Most were from late Elementary and Junior High, but there were also a few from High School and College. I got a chuckle reading my first foray into mystery novels with the Chrissy Malibu Files (inspired by Nancy Drew, of course), as well as a story taken from the computer game and children’s game show Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego? I also discovered several sets of drawings I had made of the characters from my various books. My husband got a good chuckle out of these, especially one where Batman looks like he’s wearing lipstick. It was fun to take a walk down memory lane, especially seeing how far I’ve come in my writing skills. I always had the creativity, but I’ve improved so much in ability.
What do you feel proud to have improved in skill of? Playing a musical instrument? Running long distance? Cooking a gourmet meal? |
