My Writing Life is a Grasping Octopus--

Always searching and scanning.

Maybe it's like a scanner- like a security camera.

That's how I operate in the world.  I'm built to scan for writing topics.

That was honed when I was an English major, searching for topics, and also for my column and article topics.

I always made my life into topics: Nathan and eye contact.  The first graders.  Placentas.

Always alert.  I am an always alert person.  I'm on high alert for topics.

I'm also an information hound, and writing is a way of sharing information with others.

Also, STORYTELLING- and having little stories to entertain- has always been important in my family.
