Denouement

Friends often beg me to write my memoir. I usually respond with something like, “there’s no resolution so why write it?” As I continue to work on this memoir I begin to see why it is important to finish it. It is not to write the best seller, gain notoriety or get rich. It is to leave something of myself behind and find the denouement within me.

Cacography

Many school districts have opted to eliminate cursive writing as a required subject. Not a necessity in a computer driven age with texts, tweets and essays written on google drive. My keyboard becomes my best friend as I see the perfect penmanship of youth slipping away. My handwritten drafts these days resemble the cacography of a doctor’s script. Wait a minute. Doctors don’t hand write scripts anymore.
