I am a storyteller no matter what I write. It took me 45 years to say, "I am a writer." Once I made the admission, the writer that had been locked up inside me overflowed onto the page.

I thank the founder of my first writer's group who told me to stop making excuses about why I was not writing. He told me that writers write, pure and simple. Now I pass this advice onto other beginning writers whenever I can.
