What is the aim or goal of your writing:
1st ed. says, "Being a writer is the most fascinating job in the world. I think I knew I wanted to be one as soon as I could read, but I never actually got around to it until 16 years ago. Since than I have had fiction and articles published in considerably over a hundred different periodicals. The stories have been published in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, England, Australia, France and Spain, transcribed into braille and adapted for radio and television."
2nd ed. says, "Writing is the most exciting and challenging job in the whole world and it always surprises me a little that anyone wants to do anything else. I particularly enjoy working with new writers and meeting them at conferences. Michigan is a rich, fertile state for the creative mind. No one living here should ever run out of story ideas."
