I am lonely. Colleagues were my friends. No meetings, no journeys. I am only a doctor when stopped by the police for speeding.
When my husband died, years ago, writing softened my loss. The notebook is still by my bed.
I pick up a pen and start to write again.
Ruth is a retired doctor who has written extensively for the profession. Since retiring she has published a memoir and three novels. She finds flash fiction very rewarding for the elderly brain.
Ruth, I share your thoughts on the rewards of writing. Sorry you are lonely. I also feel isolated in my retirement and although I have a husband here, it would be nice to share writing with someone or just exchange emails once in a while. I am at jfayeiwaya@gmail.com and hope you will write if you find this message.
Very nice, and relevant right now.
