You truly have a gift of writing. Tell me, your educational pedigree and professional experience being a writer after we parted in 1991. Feel free to send me an email or IM on FB if you don't want the world to know your path to awesome prose! I really look forward to your posts. This was such a lovely one. What a studmeister he is: an 18 year old dude making things work a 22 yr old hottie!

That’s very kind of you to say. Thank you.

I’ve always enjoyed writing. As far as a pedigree, I don’t have one. I learned to write simply from reading a bit of Hemingway. I learned about the power of transitions from an author that will make me sound too pretentious to name. I learned how to be elliptical; to elide time, and paint with economy by reading and writing screenplays. That’s really it.

I figured it out right after I replied. It was the use of “surmises” that made it click. Always good to hear from you, my man! Thanks for your nice words.
