As a child I was fascinated by the trails I lived nearby when I lived on Staten Island. When I rode upstate I wondered how far all the trails went. On a few occasions I ventured deep into the forest.
I view writing as walking along a trail, not knowing where it will take me. It's true at the beginning of a story or poem. There are times when I venture deeper into a story and find myself in a new place.
I enjoy this process as it has expanded the depth of my writing. I go places I was afraid to or clarifies what I want to convey. I still love following trails in the forest. In writing, I do the same.
