I'm over forty. I've been in college and the Navy, been married more than a decade, and have three boys. I don't write what I know; I'm always learning something new. I've little patience and no tact. I've few friends and fewer enemies. I'm generic, and I think we're all generic in death no matter what. Other than that, I'm just hoping to learn the secret that transforms me into a writer, without concern about being an author.
