Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

I write all the time. I am not afraid to write. One reason is that no one ever told me that I should be afraid to write. Please don’t ever tell anyone they should be afraid.

I write. I write everyday. This is the third or fourth piece of writing I am completing this morning before 9AM.

I am not afraid to write. I have met many persons who are afraid to write, but that is not me. Perhaps someone who analyzes such things could analyze my life, background, parents, childhood, etc. and produce an analysis that explains my situation.

Basically, I never knew that I was supposed to be afraid to write.

Perhaps I am not smart enough to realize this.

My granddaughter appears to be like me in this respect. She is five years old and has been writing stories for several years. No one has yet told her that she should be afraid to do this. I pity the person who tries to convince her to be afraid. I shall have a discussion with that person.
