A writer writes; that’s what we do. We hope we write something people want to digest, agree or disagree with directly or indirectly.

The heroics of words on paper is that the writer reveals himself/herself. Things sure sound easier when they are written, then when they are lived. The people I admire most are those who live out their words even when it isn’t easy.

Stories tap us on the shoulders and get our attention. I enjoy going back and forth between reading fiction and nonfiction. In truth, fiction sounds more believable at times, maybe because the author can manipulate it to do so.
