REFLECTIONS
Everyday is different. This morning the river was still, not a breath of air ruffling it’s surface: reflection. Memoir is it not also reflection? Making sense of life. Roald Dahl wrote “A life is made up of a great number of incidents and a small number of great ones. An autobiography must therefore, unless it is to become tedious be extremely selective, discarding all the inconsequential incidents in one’s life and concentrating upon those that have remained vivid in the memory.” My first manuscript is finished. Now the difficult task of finding a publisher. Soon I will tell you my story.
