Loving to write and write and write
Many writers have inspired me to write although it never occurred to me I could write. Surprisingly, the more we write, the more we have to say. We writers must be like God, present everywhere but visible nowhere. I don't think we should let perfectionism paralyze us. Our gift is doing the job as best we can. Somerset Maugham says, "If you can tell stories, create characters, devise incidents, and have sincerity and passion, it doesn't matter a damn how you write." Samuel Johnson says, "The two most engaging powers of an author are to make new things familiar and familiar things new." This are my two goals. Winged - Joyce
