Mostly a "life experiences" tale teller
No formal educational much past high school way back in the day. Always been a voracious reader. Can consume an entire novel in about a day and a half if it's a real grabber. Jotted down a few short tales/poems a long time ago. Decided to record some "life experiences" in the hope of passing them on to the grandkids. Was encouraged by some coworkers to write a book; but, just haven't had the gumption to sit long enough to try it. Have a few various chapters mouldering away somewhere in the dark recesses that I haven't gone back to and probably never will. Decided to stick with short stories and a few poems. Most all are based on familar ground; but, never really ventured into just about a total fictional story until a little while back. Decided to take "one" true fact and try to weave something around it. Think it worked out pretty well and I was happy with the finished product. For those that asked the questions: I don't use an outline, seldom if ever rewrite anything and only occasionally go back and edit. Whatever cleans your clock...
