I remember thinking that if I hadn't chosen nursing, rec therapy would have been a good choice.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/15294204009310379754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-35233078741635146222021-03-21T08:20:50.106-06:002021-03-21T08:20:50.106-06:00Thanks - I find word prompts are the best way to s...Thanks - I find word prompts are the best way to spark my creativity.

I guess that subconscious concern revealed itself in the story!<br /> Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/15294204009310379754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-53477235090147144662021-03-21T08:17:42.550-06:002021-03-21T08:17:42.550-06:00Thanks Karen.

That really must go to the provider of the word prompts (Hilary Melton-Butcher) or the character herself. The word prompts just carried the plot along, and when I began writing I had no agenda to make hospital grounds a better place!Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/15294204009310379754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-42489005423021794052021-03-19T20:58:26.920-06:002021-03-19T20:58:26.920-06:00I worked with the elderly for many years.
