Why I Started Writing:

I had a nagging interest writing.  I can't say exactly where this interest came from.  I had retired from the practice of law, and I guess the urge just overcame me.  I started writing, and much to my surprise I found the process enjoyable.  It's clearly work, though.  What I enjoy the most is playing the violin and reading the New Testament in Greek.
