Hmmm... I have been writing my whole 33 years, but not until my 32nd year did I produce anything worth rereading. Instead of writing what I thought people wanted to read, I censored my ideas and my language. In doing so, my voice was muted. In January I walked out of a fairtale marraige, because I could no longer fool myself. I started writing daily, to sort out the conflict and confusion, grief and pain. I committed to writing the truth, regardless of what other people thought. I have had many reactions, from anger and irritation to admiration. In my opinion, any attention is better then none!
I know that it takes years to grow a good writer. So I'm working hard to lose my training wheels. I am educating myself iin several artistic areas, and piling up experiences that are interesting to write about. I love language. I love words. I love every part of it. The writing, the reading, performing, staging, and music.
Make me better...
