What is the aim or goal of your writing:
"I write to create. Making something (an art object-a book) that others can experience and enjoy as much as I did in its creation is my goal." Like any artist, I create because I have to.
2nd ed. says, " I always wanted to...be an artist, write books, have a husband and family, travel, learn about anything and everything...and win at tennis. With good fortune, supportive parents, and a high energy level I've been able to do them all up to 'learn about everthing.' I look forward to continuing to try that and as for tennis--5 our of 6 isn't bad."
