What is the aim or goal of your writing:
I write because I become cranky when I do not. I am curious and inquisitive, and especially enjoy seeking answers and sharing them with others. Any success I may have is due to hard work, tenacity, having the ability to easily establish rapport with people, and recognizing that I have a God given talent to use.
