Such a beautiful poem this is, On Turning Ten by Billy Collins

I didn’t expect to see my younger self in it and yet there I was — thinking “This is the beginning of sadness”

Years ago, maybe a decade even, I fell in love with this software called Scrivener. I could never justify buying it because I didn’t actually write. But having that software would represent a little bit of the identity I would like to have, a writer. The Fourth of July long weekend gave me a running start. The plan was to write every day for a month. If I did, I would buy Scrivener. This was going quite well, then I couldn’t write for two days.
