The day after my creative writing class I always feel like staying home and writing. Today, more than usual. It's mid-March and we got more snow. It makes the house feel cozy and inviting; makes you just want to curl up with your laptop and make the keys sing. But I have a class and so here I sit in my Intro to Business class yet again, and no one is here again. I am very early. Maybe I'm going about it wrong and I should come to class at the last minute like all the kids. But then that's not really me.
I was an Aircraft Mechanic for a long time. I worked for both US Airways and American Eagle Airlines. I have always said that because of the technical knowledge involved, and the expertise needed, Aircraft Mechanics are actually professional nerds that like to get dirty. That and the airlines teach you to try to always be on time or early.
Not sure what that had to do with writing, but I'm sure I'll figure it out one day. Until then, this is that elusive animal ... rarely caught in the open ... writing practice.
Anytime I can tickle the keys of either keyboard or piano I am happy. Finding this little gem out about myself at 39 is kind of awkward, but still I'm happy to learn it now. I could have found out that writing was my passion at the ripe age of 90. Where would I be then. As it is it's hard to keep story details straight.
So it's off to another day of mid-life learning at Cape Cod Community College here on ... you guessed it ... Cape Cod. I suppose there are worse places I could be going to school.
Oh, and if you're interested, the professors here are top notch and they have a Radio Broadcasting program here that is second to none. They actually teach the technique of remote broadcasts and radio journalism. A rarity from what I'm told.
Have a great day. I know that I will.
