Today's prompt makes it clear that this is an exercise for WRITERS.  I'm not a writer. I do not wish to become a writer.  I will read with interest the works of the writers :)
Sharing my life story simply is not my style.  I don't talk much about me, so this is a very uncomfortable place to be.  When I'm uncomfortable I leave.
Knowing that there is no more bread to be had I would happily share with you the last piece of my bread.  Or anything else I have that you need.  But I will not tell you about my life. You must be very close and well trusted to know about me - NOT because I am so all-fired special or secretive or different.  Simply because that is who I am and how I've always been.
Now I will go and get a great recipe to share with you :)
P.S.
I didn't put up the recipe.  I did think all day about my flat-out rejection of today's prompt.  It seemed complicated, deep inside I knew it was very simply a dodge.  I really dislike myself when I resort to trickery on that level.  True - I am not a writer and have no wish to be one.  True, I am intensely private and play all my cards very close, keep all my self disclosure to a minimum unless I am with close friends.  But STILL the little conscience birdy kept whistling "you're dodging, babe, I can see your tracks".  So I had to think, and what I thought was this.  I have no one thing that I passionately DO and live for and need time for.  There is not one central interest in my life that I wish I had more time for or that other tasks take away from.  This made me feel embarrassed - I don't want to look like the only dilettante in the limo for God's sake!  These are real, dedicated writers, crafters, artists, photographers!  These are people making a difference with their contributions.  I don't want them looking at my flabby little blog full of whinnys and clucks and barks and purrs.  Here I am out in the country doing pretty much what I please because this is how my life has turned out in spite of and because of all the moves I have made to date.  So that is closer to the truth #REVERB10 friends.  Have a brownie and a cuppa.
 
 
I wasn't inspired by today's prompt, either. What you share about yourself, for those of us paying attention, inspires and endears. I love you.
