2023 A to Z Challenge Blog: Quitting

I’m back in the groove. I finished Finding Melinda yesterday, making the deadline with a day to spare. LOL Today’s letter is Q and I’ve chosen to do my Did You Know about Quitting.

Sooner or later, we are all quitters. Not me, you say? Then you are indeed rare. I can honestly say, I’ve quit lots of things in my life, some I regret, others I don’t. The first thing I recall quitting was a job as a chambermaid in a hotel. That’s when I learned that people could be pigs–those renting the rooms as well as the touchy-feely guy who was my boss. I lasted one day.

Over the years I started and quit several hobbies and sports, some because my interest waned, or they became too expensive to maintain, others because my body failed me. Arthritis can be a terrible thing. I had to stop Curling and scrapbooking because of sore, swollen Joints. There may be many more things old age will force me to quit, but until I have to, I intend to keep going.

The one thing I haven’t quit, despite disappointment at times, is writing. As long as I have ideas, I’ll continue., I may slow down a little, but as long as I can do it, I intend to persevere.

What about you? What’s the one thing you do that you won’t quit?

That’s it for me today. Find other bloggers and their posts here. https://tinyurl.com/3we8aa84

Come back tomorrow when I’ll give you a Did You Know? for the letter R. Enjoy your day.

Hi! I live in Eastern Ontario. I'm married with three adult children and five wonderful grandchildren. I prefer warm weather, and sunshine but winter gives me time to write. If I’m listening to music, it will be something from the 1960s or 1970s. I enjoy action movies, romantic comedies, but I draw the line at slasher flicks and horror. I love science fiction and fantasy as well. I love to read; I immerse myself in the text and, as my husband says, the house could fall down around me, and I’d never notice. My preferences are as varied as there are genres, but nothing really beats a good romance, especially one that is filled with suspense. I love historical romance too, and have read quite a few of those. If I’m watching television, you can count on it being a suspense — I’m not a fan of reality TV, sit-coms, or game shows. Writing gives me the most pleasure. I love creating characters that become real and undergo all kinds of adventures. It never ceases to amaze me how each character can take on its own unique personality; sometimes, they grow very different from the way I pictured them! Inspiration comes from all around me; imagination has no bounds. If I can think it, imagine it, I can write it!

  1. Can’t stop trying to write/ Chose my location,so can’t complain about wonderful scenery, lack of almost everything else, and I have a choice.
    Quit gardening and DIY, or stop longing for nice ladylike hands.
