Yep, born with a pen in hand, 1,000 ideas at the outset, reading a couple of novels a week. Writing letters and articles for my neighbors, for my teachers and then my professors in university...

All this started in 1961 when I was 8. I have never stopped and now I'm 68.

As for Medium, it's a good tool for formatting and posting my writing. But Medium itself is profoundly annoying and even disturbing. They're full of -isms.

The Medium Challenge was a come-on and very poorly managed. I'm offended that the winner lacked a subtitle and photo attribution.

But... I love writing to prompts. I'll be submitting my writing about writing (and reading) forthwith.

Thanks for the prompt, Elizabeth Dawber.
