Write about your age, and how you believe it has helped your writing.

Perspective

I am writing again after a break of about 20 years.  My writing has become better than what it was.  I'm not saying I'm a good writer, but the experiences that I have had, and the age I am now, allow me to apply the proper perspective to evaluate and adjust the way I think about my feelings.  

That's an oxymoron, I bet!  But I truly believe it has.  And with the help of the very gifted writers on here, I think I have found a way to study the writing and different ways I can improve.  So my age has allowed me to be more open to feedback about my writing.  I don't look at criticism as a bad thing.  I look at it more like, "How can I be better..."

So yeah, the thing I like about my age - 48, going on 49 at the end of the month, has allowed me to gain the proper perspective to not only my writing but myself.

I love my age, and I love life...I love spreading or trying to spread peace and love in it daily.
