Oh Donna I have to agree with the forgetfulness of the 60’s. I to remember years ago but I tend now to have to reread pages in a good book to refresh my memory. It’s sure an after 40 thing. I can see where it could make writting more and more difficult. I hope you all have a great getaway week.

Memory loss!! I have to worry about memory loss!! Just kidding folks, I’m in my 60’s & it amazes me that I can’t remember something I did 5 minutes ago but I can remember something 20, 30, 40 years ago!! Why? Is that fair!
To all you Plotmonkeys, I am so glad you all work to put down those words on paper for us, the readers. Thank you for your struggles & your amazing brains that bring us new & fresh stories to keep us reading & entertain us. :love2: :kiss:

Hope that you have a blast at your retreat……..and so glad that you all are writing such great stories. As for the memory thing after 40 yeah, there is that………I used to be able to remember plots of books I read a couple of years ago……….Now I am lucky to remember what I needed at the store………..

Talking about memory problems, I recently read a book review on-line, thought it sounded great so I ordered the book. Was excited when I recieved it in the mail because I had just finished a book…. Not more than ten pages in the book I realzied I alread read this book :wallbash:
Yes, turning 40 has been so much fun

Thanks for answering my question, ladies! I hope you realize that all of your blood, sweat and tears are SO appreciated by your readers. Don’t worry about memory lapses…Geez, I am 36 and I have memory lapses. LOL. Sometimes, when I read one of your series, I think to myself, “What in the heck is she talking about?” Happy Saturday, Everyone!

Are you sure that wasn’t a memory slip Gigi??? Hell, I can’t even remember what I need at the grocery store when I have a list in front of me, much less which books I have bought. The thought of going back after only 2 years out of college and doing another degree- and writing more papers :wallbash: scares the crap out of me. No way could I do a book.

I bow down to your superior writing skills ladies.

I can certainly understand everthing you ladies are saying.
I know I’ve written things (papers and such) thought they were awful when I did them and then went back and read them later and thought. I wrote that, it’s not half bad.:lightbulb:

And yes Julie and Janelle, I also have the memory problem of those over 40. I hate it. I can remember things on a clalendar but ask me what I just red and I’m like ‘duh’:doggie::doggie::doggie::doggie::doggie::doggie:

Ya’ll have a blast on your retreat.
