An interview
1991 – that is the year I began writing for publication. I won’t say “professionally” since my skills needed a great deal of help back then, but I did put out my shingle as a writer about then.
My mother, whom the grandkids call Ditdo, would argue. She says I wrote my first “good” story in Kindergarten, but was telling a good story long about the time I was not quite two when my baby brother, Steve, came into the world and I had my first captive audience. Sorry Baby Brother.
For what it is worth, my good friend and publisher, Ryan Sauers of Our Town Gwinnett-End Resultz Media decided that I should be interviewed by one of my fellow writers. We all had been taking turns at Our Town for a few months by interviewing one another and I was among the lone hold-outs. I finally caved.
So, here exists an article, not by me, but about me. The first since 1991 (or 1971 by Ditdo’s account). I think that is a pretty good game of Dodge on my part. Eventually, someone lands a blow and you are “out”! Thanks Ryan, for a lot of things. But mostly, for giving me a platform, hearing my voice, and letting me run. You are one of the good ones. -B
