A long time ago in a galaxy quite close by

“Author” should be categorised as a medical condition.

Maybe it is. Some place has to be enlightened enough to recognise the insanity inherent in the desire to put your words in pixels and ink.

Writers are certainly not “normal”, by any definition.

But that said, that drive is there. It must have a genetic advantage to have stuck around so long. Story, and story-telling, is wired into us. It’s probably there in our DNA if you care to look close enough.

The last time I tried to write fiction was in the 1990s. I was young, naive, and not very good at it.

Now I am turning 40 and due for a midlife crisis, so what the heck. I will be 40, naive, and not very good writer, but I will have expressed myself in ways that the trolls can feed on.

Call it a public service.
