I write because I am compelled to write, for myself or as gifts to friends from time to time. Something gets into my head and it must be expressed. I am also compelled to edit and revise, as if perpetually honing a sculpture, there is that fine line where enough is enough. When I reach that point, when I feel I have a finished product, I may even share, though don't hold your breath ;-) It's therapeutic to me, and crosses over into art, and acting, all these facets of a world very real to Me, and as I have found, to others as well. I can draw but cannot paint, and words add colour to my black and white renditions, which are then further projected in person through characters and worlds I've adopted.
