What is the aim or goal of your writing: Steady, constant work, even if not in prolific quantities, finally gets recognized. Observe, react, remember, and record.

May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: Yes

I do workshops, critiquing groups, readings and lectures frequently. I also judge poetry contests 3 or 4 times a year. I would answer all letters from writers and would-be writers.
