The Idea of Me…

I could start with my age or my marital situation. Maybe my job title. My family connections. I suppose all of these things help to define me. Really, I’m a middle-aged writer who has never been published. A few things here and there back in my college days, but nothing in years. I yearn to be published. I don’t care if I become famous or write a best seller. In fact, I prefer a short story format, so it’s unlikely I will amount to anyone’s definition of a “great” writer. I just want my words to be read. I want to be relevant. I want to ask hard questions and create dialogue. I want to be a voice in the moral and ethical wilderness. I want to explore with my words, experience through my imagination and share my thoughts. Writing is a journey, not a destination. I am ready to travel.
