A hearse and the morgue? No wonder I'm warped!
It has taken me some time to decide exactly what I wanted to say about myself. I'm quick to relate what has happened in my life but I rarely speak of what I'm about. I only give a small hint of myself, such as the quote above.
I don't have great credentials to awe people with and the most dramatic things that happened in my life occurred before memory, with the exception of my quote and there are only snippets of that, with the stories I am told of the time.
Is what I am in my education or is it something deeper? Why should I be impressed by what a writer has learned if their writing has no voice?
