What is the aim or goal of your writing:
1st ed. says, " His life has been an adventurous one, as a soldier, hotel manager, treasure hunter, teacher, and free-lance writer. He has traveled widely and lists among his sports, ice skating and as recreation "raising my children." Mr. Gold is considered "the very pattern of a modern young writer." His style is said to be striking and vigouous.
CA says, " When I first began to write, I thought I'd crack the egg and discover the secrets of the universe. Now I keep digging into the shell and discovering new nourishments. It's a game in dead earnest and it keeps me fed, surprised, and entertained. I'm doing the best I can to share the pleasure with readers. (Bottomless egg.)"
