Why do I write? 1) I strive to be a courier of the Chosen One. 2) I can't stand for stories, poetry, or any other words collected into an order that may enlighten and/or entertain to linger in the dark chasm of my imagination and never meet the light of eyes. What's in me has got to get out. 3) To paraphrase Thomas Berger;Why do I write? Because it isn't there.
