Prompt Word: LIE
As a child, I began to write. I fashioned myself to be the next Mark Twain or Hemingway. I constantly had pencil and paper, diaries and journals. I learned early on, to stop showing him my poetry and prose. My father told lies. His remarks snuffed out my confidence.
“You’ll never be a writer. Not possible!” He’d say, tossing my papers up in the air.
I’m now sixty-four years old and guess what? I’m not a Mark Twain or a Hemingway but I am, an author and a poet. Be careful telling someone what they can not be!

We are all special, in our own ways. We can’t be the exact same as others but there’s no stopping in grasping some inspirations from those we idol upon, to pursuit our dreams.
Good for you, Ami 🙂
