Sometimes it's easier to show than it is to tell

I made the choice long ago to write about real life. And life is both serious and funny.

Good writing is remembering detail. Most people want to forget. Don't forget things that were painful or embarrassing or silly. Turn them into a story that tells the truth.

I tried to write with someone else once before, but it was not successful.

Sometimes it's easier to show than it is to tell

It's not easy being so frightened of everything. And when I think of how much I've improved in the last year, I wonder when I'll ever get finished with making changes and be really grown up.

I feel like I'm addicted to the printed word.
