Eva’s Byte #367 – Older than Dirt?

Never have I ever ascribed to typical ageist bias. For starters:

Forgetting
Narrow-mindedness
Acting buffoonish
Dressing like a fuddy-duddy
Obsessed with aches and pains

However, once a year without fail, I’m reminded about just how far along I’ve traversed planet Earth. It occurs every Spring when a certain electrician named David makes his rounds to check the smoke detectors and heat sensors throughout my apartment complex.

David, a gentleman whom I gauge to be forty years of age at the very least, was a former student of mine. Wait for it—in third grade!

In the capacity of a writer of Contemporary/Women’s Literary Fiction, ageism does not adversely affect my over-forty characters. They go about their business, manifesting the dysfunction and dilemmas I afflict them with. Er uh, Etta and Keith are in their sixties and still rock it in the bedroom.

Along my current Contemporary work in progress, I’m winding down chapter 12 (885 words thus far).

*Whatever your number, may you live life with purpose and passion.

My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
