Writing is an art form, a form of therapy, an escape, an adventure, a tool for acquiring and sharing knowledge about the world, about yourself, and about other people. Reading is important to me and teaches me how to be a better writer. Some influences I am reading at the moment are the outlandish Chuck Palahniuk and the legendary Salman Rushdie. One of the greatest human feats is to create art !!! --Robert West Rozier
