My interests are reading, photography, travel and writing. I have several short stories published, plus one silly poem. This is my writing formula: 1) Write the story. 2) Pat yourself on the back. 3) Throw half of it out. 4) Re-write what's left. 5) Throw that out. 6) Start over again. 7) Repeat the process until you're blue in the face. 8) Send it to the publishers who, if they like it, will ask for a re-write. That should do it.
