I was born in a log cabin... oh, wait. That was somebody else.
Once upon a time... drat. It's been done.
It was a dark and stormy night... Nope. Never gonna get anyone interested in that one. They'll fall asleep before they finish.
How about this:
I'm a middle-aged freelance writer and television producer living in the Boston area. In 1998, I decided to throw all caution to the winds, and I gave in to the inevitability of being a writer. I quit the day job.
In that time, I have managed to
- publish several stories and articles in international magazines,
- complete a fiction manuscript (working title, "Steps") which I am now trying to get out in the world,
- write a regular column about journaling/memoirs for a local newspaper syndicate, published semi-monthly,
- teach several journaling and memoir writing workshops in area adult education centers,
- win several prizes as a filmmaker/screenwriter in national competitions,
- write the annual "advertorial" for an international photography studio headquartered in Boston,
- win the grand prize in an international writing competition sponsored by Four Seasons Hotels and Singapore Airlines, and
- last but not least, go nearly broke in the process.
I've learned several valuable lessons. I'm looking for an agent, and in the meantime, I'm writing myself crazy--or is it sane?
