As a writer, I pour my creativity into inventing and revising my manuscripts. I’m not one to “reinvent” or “revise” my own image. Yet, just as I challenge myself to enter unexplored territory as a writer, there comes a time when I admit I need to update myself too. Ergo, after sixteen unshorn years, I got my haircut. Needing new eyeglasses, I also opted not to use the (very) old frames, but to buy new ones. Maybe the physical alterations will lead me to try new literary genres: graphic novels, mystery, romance, sci fi …? Then again, fiction, creative nonfiction, and essays provide enough variety. At least for the next sixteen years. For more of my thoughts on writing, see REFLECTIONS.
