What is the aim or goal of your writing:
2nd ed. says, "I'm interested in experimenting with form. I like to combine 'poetic' structures and methods into the short story length. Also I'm interested in exploring feminine psychological and sexual views, sets, experiences. Writing and bringing up three children has been hard. Also (typical mother) I haven't had a room of my own through most of my writing career."
