I took up writing after a dry spell in my creativity. The Artist's Way set me on a
road to free asssociation writing that seemed for a few weeks to be not much more
than complaints and grumblings. After a while I set my mind t write letters of thanks
to a couple of high-school teachers who had liked and had afforded me
opportunities. As I wrote, I remembered the names of a couple of other teachers.
By the time I had written a couple of those I began to write letters to those I hadn't
liked. I began to realize the teachers I hadn't liked was because of the discipline
they forced on me. I was a straight "F" student in elementry and high-school and I
couldn't see the path they were so determined to prevent me from going down.
Instead I had rebelled. The result of my musings became a book entitled "Dear Mr.
Madison" and was published in 2001. It contains over 64 letters of gratitude to
those teachers in my life who tried valiantly to sabe my sorry butt.
Since the publishing of the book, I have had my work (My Aunt Peggy) published
in "Angels on Earth" (A Guidepost's publication) and (The Tunnell) in "The Noble
Years" Vol. 2 published by Barnes and Noble.
I am currently working on a novel.
