The following posts are part of an autobiography project gifted to me by my daughter and son-in-law on Christmas 2021. Called Storyworth, it asks weekly questions and gathers my responses to create a unique book of my life to be published in December 2022. As most of you have probably figured out, I can’t just answer a simple question, or write in plain “Dear Diary” format. To me, everything is a writing prompt, a chance to tell a story…a story worth sharing. I hope you enjoy my long-winded answers, and are prompted, too, to contemplate your own.
