I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.

Jack Of All Trades
There's an interesting article in Writers Magazine called "Be a Jack Of All Trades".
Short story writing and essay writing are my main genres but I have written some
prose and a couple of horror stories. I tried my hand at playwriting and I enjoy it.
It's good to try something else because it stretches the mind.
What helps me in in mywriting is that I'm not married to reading one particular genre
or author. It's keeps my options open to areas that I know little about. I'm a curious
person. That's what drew me to writing a mystery story. Hey, maybe a novel is in the
future.

WORDS OF WISDOM
The best advice I ever got was that knowledge is power and to keep reading. ~David Bailey
