I write to tell myself stories and ideas.

If I think they have merit, I try to tell them to others.

I write in the hope of giving to other people the same thing my favorite books always gave to me: lifting me out of this world, exciting me with the *possible*, leaving me for a while gasping as if I went up to Heaven and back down again with the speed of the free-fall ride at Knott's Berry Farm. :D
