Have written lots of (mainly) short- to (not as many) medium/long stories, a few actually true, in my life. Like being poetic, too, but those occasions have come by less frequently. Just one 'real' travel piece was published, many years ago. I've tried, long ago, to market a number of the fictitious tales but did not succeed and moved onto other interests. Am working with the idea of beginning a blog, or blogs, based on numerous subjects. Worked as a copy editor on newspapers for nearly 20 years.
