I wanted to be an Archaeologist. Watched too much Jurassic park & Indiana Jones

I loved my life as a child. I was able to create in my mind stories of who I wanted to be like and how I would change. I never focused on a person. More in things I wanted to do.
I wanted to make a change for my future. I could conger up daydreams of who I wanted to be like. Not an actress or a singer. They were my pictures; My collective memories turned into words.
My mind was set to plan how I wanted to change/or alter the life I was currently living.
Not till my 40's I began to write. It began one late afternoon when I just turned the last page of a book I was reading.

In my mind I felt the words I read. All the stories seemed to have he same thoughts in common. And so I began to type the scene. Describing what I saw in my mind. My first thought was the scene most stories opened to. The Weather. I had to set a picture. A photograph for the reader to see and hear. Then the thought my character was going to be one of the 'good guys'. I revealed her with good and protective thoughts.
The scene that appeared in my mind was a man beating relentlessly a lovely mare, that though she tried, her efforts were squandered with yet another slap from his whip.
In this scene, I became this beautiful animal. Trying to escape from the pain.
Today my poetry is a release of emotions. Memories gathered with sorrow that only my words can change. The words flew out through my fingers as I typed.
It is in THIS fashion I write. With emotion only I am able to create with words. To allow others to see the scenic view, and to feel the emotional pain and fear.

I know there are other writers in here. You write because you need to release the words, that become the next scene. And as you create the story the words become emotions only you, the writer can create.
Now, for those who write or desire to create, tell me what inspires you to 'preserve' your thoughts?

Ha, too funny. I also wanted to be out living history and on the run from evil that wished to exploit it. Unfortunately it's hard living to make. Even Indiana Jones had to teach to make ends meet 🙄

Maybe I'll make an adventure out of work today. I'm going to climb under the lady's desk in Accounts Payable and see if there's a secret passage down there.

A librarian. Because I was shy (and the solitude appealed to me) and I loved reading.

I too loved books and how they were able to keep me intrigued. I got into the Nancy Drew series as a child. Was always so difficult to put the current book down when Mama called me. I wasn't allowed to bring my book to the table.
A recent read I loved throughout was 'Touching Spirit Bear' by Ben Mikaelsen.
An abused boy was arrested and offered Prison or complete solitude living on an Island alone for a year. He chose the island. And learned in his confinement being alone was NOT quite what he expected. He had to build his hut alone. Find and cook his own meals. Depending on his own ability to release his anger.

@wonderland63893: I think it was actually bog bodies that got me into archaeology but then I watched Indiana Jones and I wanted to be him

Self confidence to make my own choices without fear of being laughed at. (didn't have 'friends' as a child. I still have a fear of getting too close via rejection)
Are you related to the one thT goes by the name "anonymous"
