The World According to Leslie

I love writing! I have always loved writing! I have had this blog for a few years, but I still have a habit of writing in notebooks--on actual paper. I'm old school! Since May 1, 2015, I have been writing in my "Surgery Thoughts" notebooks. Yes, notebookS! There are three of them. My surgeon told me to document my thoughts, my food, my exercise... my journey as a whole. So, on May 1, 2015, I started writing in a composition book. That first day, I wrote about how I was going to work out with my trainer and how I was only 42 days away from surgery. During the past year, I have not written every day. I have written most days. I guess, in the world of technology that we live in, I should probably get used to writing online. Does anyone know how these people make money writing blogs?  I would love to be able to do that!  For now, I'll write here from time to time.

  My friend Phyllis at Just Bcauz nominated me for the Sunshine Award a couple of days ago. Since I was gone, I am just now getting to this. The rules are: Include the award’s logo in a post or on your blog. Link to the person who nominated you. Answer 10 questions about yourself. Nominate other bloggers. Link your nominees to the post and comment on their blogs, letting them know they have been nominated. Drum roll please...   1. What is your favorite color?

What is your favorite number? 6—but I do love most even numbers. Sometimes odd numbers freak me out. 4. Favorite non-alcoholic drink? Double chocolately chip blended cream frappuccino 5. What is your favorite alcoholic drink? I don’t have one. I don’t drink ...

I want to tell my story.  I want to write it so that others can read it. I don't have a fabulous story... just some funny things along the way. I don't have a rags to riches story.  I'm not rich, and may never be.  I want to write my story. I just don't know how to start (other than the beginning) and what to put into it.  I don't know what I would really do with it if I wrote it. I don't know who would want to read it.  I need to find a way to tell my story so that others want to read it.  I am thinking maybe a multigenre story, but I haven't decided.  I think I am going to need time and help. I want to tell my story.

So I have quite a few new readers here. So instead of doing a boring "This is Me" or "All about me" post, I thought I'd see what you guys want to know about me. So..... in the comments, leave questions that you want answered about me. I will answer ALMOST anything. Until next time........
