The Task at Hand
http://shoreacres.wordpress.com
Sharing stories, trading secrets, weaving new realities of threads pulled from discarded memories or long forgotten dreams - those are the tasks of a new writer, dedicated to new endeavors.
Living a quiet and hidden life, anchored to my dock like a barnacle to a piling, I varnish boats on the Texas Gulf Coast. My dock provides both things Virginia Woolf recommended for a woman who writes: money, from the labor, and a room of my own - space and solitude for thought, remembrance, and creative reflection on the truths and mysteries of life.

This is a very sensitively written and fascinating personal blog containing stories from discarded memories, mythology and long forgotten dreams.
Wonderful to read as you have made your writing a form of art with your memories and creativity.
Especially your bluebird of perception. :)
