Writing has always fascinated me and I love books. I have an undergraduate degree in English, and for a brief period tried to own and manage a used bookstore. Although I have been told I have a modicum of talent for writing, I found it is often difficult, almost excruciatingly so. But I love those times when it comes easily and really flows. I am less thrilled by those times when I am compelled to wite and endlessly revise something. Some people call that "inspiration." Fortunately, those times are rare, but they have probably been responsible for some of my best writing. No more...
