I am a 50 year old male in a technical job that stifles my creative juices. I want to be a writer. I love the writing life. I don't think I have a lot of talent, but I make up for it with hard-work and perserverance. I want to write a few blogs and let everyone read them. In that way I can get a feel for what other's think of my writing and opinions and such. I also want to read other's writings. I also want to get some idea of how other people write and think. There is so much talent on sites like this it is just amazing. I want to be a very, very small part of this community. I invite everyone to read what I have written and comment on what you think.
