As A Child I Wanted To Be

With My Writing, What I Want To Do Is Humanize The Young People I Write About.

I Admired The Work Ethic Of The Cowboys I Read About. The Idea Of These Young People Taking On This Much Responsibility Was Impressive. I Would Like Modern Readers To Have An Appreciation Of This.

I Talk To Myself Out Loud At Times, And Feel Embarrassed When People Overhear Me.

People Told Me To Give Up Trying To Be Special And Settle Down To A Regular Life. There Ain't Nothing Wrong With A Regular Life, And That's The Lord's Truth...but It Wasn't For Me, Because I Wanted To Be Something Special. I Knew How Easy It Was For A Dream To Die. I Seen That All Around Me. You Could Let It Die By Just Looking The Other Way.

I Am Very Much Interested In Getting Parents To Read To Children, And Trying To Get People Mentoring Children. If I Can Do Both I'll Be Happy.
