Just recently I blogged the quote by Atticus Finch from TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, where he actually talks about the need to feel what another person feels, which is what empathy is. A writer is allowed to be perpetually empathetic, since you have to feel a characters's pleasure and pain in order to create an authentic character. Writing allows me an open a door into what another person may be feeling.(less)

Not for a second. In fact, it gave me the opportunity to write what I wanted to, which was mostly poetry. Poetry is rarely, if ever, very commercial (except for a selected few), so it allowed me to concentrate on my love of language and literature, all the while getting my work published by small presses.

So what would I tell an aspiring writer? Just keep on writing; follow your passion. You never know where it will take you.(less)

My granddaughter turned two yesterday. She is sunshine wherever she goes. I know every grandparent feels that way about his or her grandchild, but I know LOTS of children: I babysat for years; I have worked with younger children and I had my own children. No one I know EVER exuded her gregarious, but sweet personality. She loves people, says hi to so many people, calling them man or lady, when she Read more of this blog post »
