While I didn't make any overt declarations that day, something in me moved to want to be the man that Mr. McCullough saw in me.
Writing… about not writing…
Words, ideas, concepts... I live for them. Really, I do. It's even built into the core of the meaning of my name. I have been a writer all of my life, and I do relish the times when I am able to sit down with virtual pen and paper, and let the words flow. Lately, …
Thankfulness… Thanks, Full Nets
