I get it, really. Writing is a serious profession. But that's not the reason for me doing it. For me, a complete newbie to this world, it's not the being a writer that captivates me to do it.
Lunch with Zen Master and the grand kids happens every once in awhile. The little one is younger than his older brother by five years, and they're quite different in temperament.
No distractions please, I think to myself as I take a deep breath and sigh it slowly out. The keyboard is here, the blank screen is patiently staring back at me, waiting for our conversation to begin.
Except for 2016, the year that Zen Master had his stroke, it's turning out that 2019's the next watershed year for me. For it's in this year that I became a writer. The strangeness of how all this came to pass has led me to this idea of a writing series on being a storyteller on Medium. Talking about the behind the scenes is not only fun but therapeutic.
