I was 8 years old when I whined to my mother, “I’m bored!” Schoolteacher that she was, she sat me down at the kitchen table and told me to write a poem. I wrote a dozen before bedtime. I’ve been writing ever since.

When I went to college, I was told writers majored in English or journalism. I wasn’t entirely sure what journalism was, but Journalism 101 was the class that clicked. After working on the campus newspaper at Baylor University and earning a journalism degree, I wrote and wrote and wrote, on deadline, starting with the police beat in Beaumont, Texas, and ending with the morass in Washington, D.C.

Quotes by Ellen Debenport  (?)

“Most people bestow tremendous power onto those human beings we consider evil, who cause of threaten harm to others, even though we know they are acting from their own pain or fear. Would ignoring evil disarm it? Don’t dismiss the idea. As we have declared War on Terror, a War on Drugs, a War on Poverty, a War on Crime, the problems only seem to have gotten bigger. We cling tthe notion of evil as detrimental, unpredictable force in our world and refuse any suggestion that it is not real. We argue for our fear about terrorism or climate change or economic instability, heatedly trying to prove that things are only getting worse. And in doing so, we reinforce the principle that what we focus on grows. We create our experience by where we place our attention. What we resist, persists.”
