I write for myself.  Writing helps me to solve personal problems that occured many years ago or today.  It is a catharsis.  I can change my history and play with what ifs all I want.  I gain a better insight to the problem people in my life, past or present.  I have fun with writing.  Most of all, once everything is written, I enjoy editting.  It is like talking to myself and really listening.  I strive to be honest and acknowledge my role in the problem.  zuraw37@aol.com

...A viseral imparrative basically. There's a curious thing that happens when I write; my tongue finds it's way to my upper lip and applies pressure. It feels almost like a kiss. I'm kissing the prospect of entering into a zone. I'm curious (which seems to be the principal worth) ... Im addressing the nature of what has, or could not have been if I had not decided to tap the keys or move the pencil across the paper. I don't arrange my thoughts. The letters form the words and the words themselve take on the responsibility of laying out plausibilities and causes which seem interesting to me and then to a reader- and so I continue. It's not only something which I feel "called" to do but has a fullfilling entertainment factor that goads me on.
