Wiser’s Wramblings-Wramblings Make Me Wiser
The genesis of “wrambling,” the birds, a love for Wendy’s, and grammar, of course. When I first started my writings, inspired by Wellsville Sun owner/editor Andrew Harris’ invitation to share my poetry and opinion writing with others via the Sun, I contemplated (briefly) and accepted the invitation. Why? Because as a youth and even young adult I wanted to “be a writer.” Upon contemplating a name for my “blog,” my first inclination was to name it “Wiser Words.” That idea was immediately discarded, realizing that the title implied that the words would be wiser. I then settled on “Words From Wiser,” and wrote the first few with that title. Shortly after, since my thoughts and subsequent thoughts did have a tendency to “ramble,” I switched to the title of “Wiser’s Wramblings,” and that name has been my un-official trademark since. What triggered my start to this Wrambling, was a recent note to the editor wherein my writings were referred to by a reader regarding something published under the older moniker.
