We're all list-keepers, right?
I thought so.
Well, one list of mine concerns potential topics for future writings -- either the long or the short of it. Number one on my list is the undisputed fact concerning the demise of one of my favorite writers: Ambrose Bierce.
I'm sure you all know about this, but for the one or two of you that may have missed the news [it was in all the papers], here it is in a nutshell:
In his seventies, after visiting various Civil War battlefields familiar to him from back in his day, he crossed over into Revolution-Torn Mexico...and was never heard from since....
His last written words were:
"As to me, I leave here tomorrow for an unknown destination." (December 26, 1913)
Ah yes...."Bitter Bierce" [as he was known] -- the stuff of imaginative flights of fancy.....
How about YOU?
What's on your list of "things to write about"??
