What is the aim or goal of your writing: 2nd ed. says, "My attempt at poetry is to help audiences and/or readers rediscover simplicity of language as a means of literary expression. Deep poetic images can be understood on different levels of meaning, or dimensions of understanding; therefore my poetric attempts aim at finding the common denominator that is able to convey such multiple meanings. The strength of my fiction writing, I've been told, is in invoving the reader in a particular mood and description, so that the setting of the story greatly contribues toward the building of plot and the resolving of conflict in the denoucement. I work at writing every day; beginning at 10 a.m. and working until 3 p.m., taking a break every few hours, and working into the night, usually 10 p.m., but often working until the early morning hours. In the process of writing, re-reading, and editing what has been written, the basic story emerges."
