I wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember: I wrote stories in my mind, with happy ending. I waited to meet the man who would love me forever; I waited too long and then I made the wrong choice. I am alive again in Texas and writing again, happily remarried, published as a contributor in Wally Lamb's recent collection of stories published by Harper Collins called "I'll Fly Away". My thoughts are all first sentences. I just have to figure out how to string them all together.
