Writing Memes

Posted on by Rebecca Wallick

It’s Monday, so it must be Memeday. Write on!

Published by Rebecca Wallick

I delight in exploring the national forest near my Idaho home on foot, whether trail running, hiking, or xc skiing, with my two dogs by my side, taking photos of nature and wildlife. An author and freelance writer, I love observing and writing about the natural world, and dogs, and am a long-time contributing editor at Bark magazine. I used to practice law for a living. I much prefer the writing life.

  9. I dig Meme Monday, RW. A great idea to start the week.

    And I relate to that one about asking the reader to figure out what is going on in the chapter, because sometimes I write something and when I go back to re-read, it’s like . . “Wait, what? I wrote this?”

    1. Right? Sometimes I hesitate to open an old file, some anecdote I’ve written long ago, sure I’ll cringe, only to discover that it wasn’t half bad. A reminder to keep it all, whether we think it good or bad at the time. You just never know.

      1. I have drafts that I keep, and use. And you’re right, it’s not going to be doing me any good to trash something that isn’t in my way to begin with. I think trashing drafts is akin to finally getting around to vacuuming the living room carpet instead of writing . . .

  13. OK…didn’t know what memes were. Now I know. I will write about these in my journal I’ve kept for years. It’s actually a dear diary I had in 6th grade and it’s for the year 1968. Page 1…I can see it now…wait…I’m craving a cup of tea…

    2. I also had a Dear Diary from that era, but unlike you, didn’t keep journaling beyond a year or so. What a treasure trove of life you’ve recorded there! Don’t stop, except briefly for a cup of tea…!

      1. The truth is I never, ever started or completed a diary. I just don’t have it in me. I have lots of starts in little books. Just-can’t-squeeze-words-out. Pant. Pant.
