agebuzz Guest Blogger: Dave Donelson

Writer Dave Donelson left his successful business career in 1999 to become a full-time freelance writer. In 2020 he both completed a memoir of his life growing up (entitled Fathers: A Memoir) and began a daily journal where he posts his thoughts, observations, and insights each day. Titled “The Journal of My Seventieth Year: A Memoir In Real Time,” the first volume of this daily diary is now available for purchase on Amazon. We are delighted to share with agebuzz readers select individual posts from Dave’s journal, as well as the photography that accompanies his journal entries. Dave has also published several pieces of “visual poetry” on agebuzz, part of a new visual poetry project entitled “Visions of a Certain Age,” and in support of this project, he has received a grant from ArtsWestchester with funding from the NYS Council on the Arts.
