What is the aim or goal of your writing:
His first serious writing was done in the Michigan northwoods, "with miles of forest as a wall against intrusion." Outdoor life and conservation are still major interests.
He became interested in writing while studying engineering as a Navy student, "Somehow found myself, in a creative writing course taught by Pulitzer Prize-winning Dr. S. I. Hayakawa." His writing interest in wild animals has been supplanted more recently by an interest in Western Americana. "America's past is more colorful and exciting than anything the human imagination could conjure up. This is especially true of the lusty, fast-paced chronicle of the West."
