Growing Up, I Didn't Have A Lot

What I Want To Write About Has Changed Somewhat, And The Scope Of The Storytelling Has Changed Accordingly.

I Would Also Argue That There Is A Good Chance That An Outline Will Help You Stave Off Any Onslaught Of Writer's Block. Let Me Advise You Right Up Front That I Am Not A Big Believer In Writer's Block. I Think Writer's Block Is God's Way Of Telling You One Of Two Things - That You Failed To Think Your Material Through Sufficiently Before You Started Writing, Or That You Need A Day Or Two Off With Your Family And Friends.

When I Was A Kid, We Had To Rely On Our Imaginations For Entertainment.

If Anything In Your Life Is More Important Than Writing - Anything At All - You Should Walk Away Now While You Still Can. Forewarned Is Forearmed. For Those Who Cannot Or Will Not Walk Away, You Need Only To Remember This. Writing Is Life. Breathe Deeply Of It.

We Live Out Our Lives As We Are Meant To Live Them-with Some Choice, With Some Chance, But Mostly As A Result Of The Persons We Are.
