It's in your soul. That sounds pretentious but it's not. I think you are either inspired to tell a story or you are not. A lot of people write to make money, and that's fine. Writing is writing. I do believe that some people are possessed to write and tell stories. Of course, as a music critic, I write to make money, but I approach each piece as telling a story, so I'm enthused about all my writing. The day I write without enthusiasm, put a bullet in my head--I'm done.

I worked with you at "Allesso's" Dept. Store in Roosevelt Field and married a girl from sweaters. Loved the references to Long Island and the store, until my daughter said "It's all fun and games until mom's in the book." The book could be great for high schoolers, especially young men dealing with anorexia. Some stuff (e.g. Jesus statue story) would have to go. Any interest?
