Henry David Thoreau said, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them." Writing is my song, and I did not want to go to my grave with it being unsung. So, I turned in my resignation, pulled up anchor, and set my sails for open water. The waters have been rough at times, but I am comfortable with my decision.
I enjoy writing poetry, short stories, and current news stories. I also enjoy photography, sports, drawing, reading, walking, and cooking.
