Writing, As I Do It

An Old Lady Story

Losing My Hair. TDHawkes, Digital Archives, posted 12 4 22 C,E.

Ah, dear medium.com and others,

how does this old woman write?

I am 66 right now. I do not write like a 20-year-old. I have the journals to prove it. I have changed.

I used to write long essays, not as long as writers from past centuries:

200,000 words or more, gosh when I say books, I mean books…

but at least ten typed pages or more. That was long for me.

Now, as I have aged, my writing has gotten shorter and shorter

until it is images and words in a particular string

winding across a page

but not for too long. I mean, we are really done

right here

for this one.

Love to you all,

Teresa
