I majored in a number of subjects, never really figuring out, or seeing the need to figure out, what I wanted to do. I don’t think I ever wanted to do anything in particular, or not do anything in particular. So what do you pick? I had a couple of data processing courses and got a job as a programmer. That’s mostly what I ended up doing for an income. But I think writing was always there because over the years I worked as a very part-time and intermittent stringer for a newspaper.
I’m fortunate to have many friends and family. When not writing, my wife and I spend much time enjoying our grand-kids. I like doing that, maybe not so much the part where you find yourself poking around under a table to sponge up a puddle of milk - the result of giving in to a toddler who insisted, in lieu of a fit, to putting the top on the sippy cup all by himself. OK, so maybe I really do like it, though I admit that there is more than a feeling of mild relief to hear one of the parents finally at the door
Anyway, I have no particular area of expertise. I'm probably not much different than you are. I’m just sort of here, and somehow a book came out.ver menos
