True writers know that writing is not something they feel required to do,
or to make a living they must do, it is quite frankly like breathing. Some

and for many of us it is the patient steady breathing surrounding life.

Literature might be called the art of story, and story might in turn be called a universal language, for every culture we know of has a tradition of storytelling. No doubt stories have touched your life, too, from bedtime stories you may have heard as a child to news stories you see on TV or read in a newspaper. We might even say that a major goal of living is to created the story of our own lives, a story we hope to take pleasure and pride in telling.
