I have always liked to think of stories but never got around writing them down.
It wasn't until I met my wife, who has written a lot of poetry that I finally got around to do some writing on my own. And how I regret not taking that step earlier. I love to write, to come up with stories in my head and put them on paper (or in a document in my computer).
I feel good when I'm writing, in much the same way that I feel when working with my car or are out on the shooting range. It is therapy.
