Well, here it is. A public space for some of my writing. It's an experiment in progress so please be gentle with your comments. I suppose I could write an extremely long disclaimer that no one would read, but I think I'll skip it. Here's the short version.
While studying for a PhD exam I was inspired by the writing of Truman Capote, and other journalists who write on the border of fiction and nonfiction, to begin recording some of my own observations, thoughts, and ideas for stories. I have no formal creative writing training and very little practice. Most of my experience is in academic writing (and some press releases and newsletters during my former life in politics) so this is a bit of a leap for me, but I thought it was time for me to go public with my life and my writing.
If you have some constructive criticism, praise, or want to contribute positive energy to the conversation, please share. If you like to post comments to bring people down and make yourself feel better, please don't share. Thanks for reading!
