Someone thinks I should try writing a story, and thank you JoanneBarbarella, I am flattered. I know this is in conjunction with the recent blog about trying to get new authors involved here, and I truly am stunned that anyone would approach me.

I could be blunt and say, “I couldn’t write my way out of a paper bag”, or something to that effect, lol. But I can write - just not fiction. Give me a contract, or a prospectus, a technical report or a presentation, hell - I even write great letters, but not fiction. Although some of my co-workers might tell you that a few of the proposals we have written over the years were just slightly tinged with fiction, lol.

Over the years, like most students, I was required to write a number of stories - and although mechanically I always did well, I simply am incapable of making up a worthwhile story line. I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I had an instructor tell me that!

But having said that, I did promise to think about it………

And maybe, just maybe, even try once again.
