Writing

I'm not smart enough or educated enough to be a writer. I'm not talented and I'm too old. As a young man I expressed interest in becoming a writer to someone who actually was a great one. He responded, "You don't write because you want to, you write because you have to. You write because there is nothing else you can do."

I've always had something else to do, but maybe now I've finally reached that place. I feel compelled. I don't care who reads it or who likes it. I don't want anyone to buy it. If by some accident you are reading this, I don't care what you think. I just want to write, no ... I just need to write.
