The only thing I would add for myself is that writing makes me better able to cope with everything else in my life. Well said, Colin.

Of course, at first, I was miffed that mine was not the featured essay, smile. But, I see after reading it the truth that I have known but could not voice. Thank you for a wonderful slice of truth. Susan has such a wonderful site. I missed the entry date for the essay contest - memory after chemo is like Disneyland on acid, smile. Your comments in the blog are great, too. At 54, after chasing all the approved American dreams and failing miserably at most of them, I write. Currently, I want to earn enough to buy a full size bed. The dog gets very cranky when I turn over and disturb him in 'our' twin bed. Perhaps not a great ambition, but a most worthy one, smile. Poetry is my first and dearest love and after ten years, Sandra Soli is still my mentor and friend. I have a book ready to start shopping around with Sandra's encouragement. Now essays are gathering my remaining brain cells and running wild. I came here to a semi-ghost town, San Bernardino from Oklahoma. It has been good for my writing even in the face of these horrendous winds. I miss my writers group in Oklahoma City so I'm trying to start one here. Writing is the most total loneness, but ultimately becomes dust until it crawls barefoot and smudged into someone else's lap. Thank you again - Joyce Colin - I read your essay at Tiny Lights.
