With Thanksgiving just around the corner (again!! Where
did that year go, anyway?) it’s time to turn our thoughts to things we are
thankful for. Big things; little things; things that matter only to ourselves.
As a writer, I have a special list of things, and it goes something like this:
Higher Power,
Thank you for the gift of craft,
the quirk that makes me prefer to sit in a darkened room
writing about a sunlit beach to being on that sunny shore in person;
that creates a playground in my imagination that
Disneyland couldn’t begin to rival;
that opens up a universe otherwise denied me.
Thank you for the gift of eccentricity and introversion,
and for the gift of never being bored.
Thank you for my laptop, where I can instantly erase my
mistakes… except when I don’t mean to
erase them.
And for spell check… except
when it doesn’t know the difference between pain and pane and Payne,
For Thesaurus.com, that fills in the blanks when the only
word that comes to mind is “thing.”
Thank you for cats, my muses,
who walk on the keyboard, making
contributions of their own.
Thank you for writers, who inspire me,
readers, who validate me,
editors, who magically see the plot holes,
artists who turn my words into pictures.
Most of all, thank you for letting me be me, this crazy old
cat lady writer.
