What is the aim or goal of your writing: I attribute my success to the genes inherited from my ancestors, to the stability I got from my parents, to the thousands of authors I've read, to the professors I've listened to, to the places I've traveled, to the sports I've mastered, and to Ted Williams and Lash LaRue.
