Because I write exclusively for posterity and not so much for any publication, most of my writing is from my own experience and written in the first person. On the one hand it means I'm not bound by the usual restricting commercial constraints, like keeping a sly weather - eye open for a possible publisher |
Here's a florilegium - a literary bouquet of 100
florets or flowers - simple little
reminiscences and retrospective thoughts
about my family, my friends, my experiences
and my opinions about the world looked back
upon after a long life. It's a complete mish-mash
of pieces dealing with a wide range of subjects
some of which go back years, but practically
every one of them is accompanied by a photograph
to spice it up a bit. The 'Florets' are arranged
in sub-menus with bunches of twenty-five
pieces of writing accessible from each page.
Up to now there are one hundred short essays
available, but I plan to keep adding to them
as time goes by. A few of them are extracts
from letters which I have written over the
years - some are diary excerpts.
| This freedom also allows me certain latitude in matters of strict political correctness and style. So I have deliberately developed a rather aureate style to amuse myself as much as entertain others.
