Be Open (More About Me) — Ginger S.

Hi there, in case you haven’t guessed my name is Ginger. Okay, okay it’s a nickname but it is the name I choose to be called.

This particular post is proving to be difficult for me to write. While I want to be free to write whatever I want I find myself worrying about what people will think. This is part of the reason why I wanted to join Be Open in the first place. I need to be more open with myself, open to new ideas and open to new challenges.

Writing for me has primarily been a way to express myself and to exorcize some of my demons. My Psychiatrist thinks this is a safe way to express and stretch myself.

I have so so much I want to say but let’s start here shall we?

A bit about me: I am a married mother of two adult daughters and grandmother to the cutest grandson ever seen….I might be a bit biased there if I’m honest.

I am an avid knitter, I am learning to spin, to dye yarn and fiber, to garden and to allow myself to not only write but to share what I have written with others.

I have a book idea formulating in my mind which would tie all of my interests together. I just need to be brave enough to finish getting it down on the page. I have a page here, a paragraph there and a broad outline but I have not worked up the courage to get back to it. My goal for 2021 is to complete the first draft.

I seem to always have several Knitting projects in the works, usually with varied levels of difficulty. Sometimes I want to make something complicated and sometimes I want to knit more as a meditation than anything else really. Recently everything has been for the grand baby.

I am an avid reader as well and have been enjoying the works I have found on Medium.com so far. As a writer I would love for someone to finish something I wrote and think “I liked that”.

There is so much more about me I could share so I will revisit this prompt again. For now I just want to say thank you for being here and taking the time to read my rambling words.
