Try as I might to do otherwise, I eventually acquiesce to the stories' pleas to be told.

I especially liked "Writing completes me." Made me think of what a writer friend once told me, "Writing is not just something I do. Like a job.

It's no less a passion, but the time to learn and produce, which a writer never stops doing, was and is shorter. I even wrote a screenplay of one of my books, which I'd like to redo. It's a journey. So glad you fulfill yourself. It's important at any age. Polly Iyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05729656119287702191noreply@blogger.com
