Writing anything
takes patience and skill along with a dash of luck. When you write, you tell
the world they truly need to read it, can’t go on without it, and must tell
their friends to do the same. You throw your finished book out to the waiting
eyes of critics who can destroy you with harsh words and little praise. You
tell your family and friends to get a copy but only a few do, so you go forward
with a bit of sadness, but you keep going.

Becoming a
successful writer is the dream of every story teller who puts ink on paper.
Unlike most a writer’s gift to the world is to take them, the reader, to places
only they imagine. A place where reality can be thrown away and fictional tales
written especially for them make up a special time of day. When the last
chapter has been read the book is laid down and memories of its characters
remain for days to come.
I am a writer, a
teller of tales, a person of words. I am searching the vastness of life
memories to bring meaning to blank pages.
