As an occasional contributor to The SandPaper, usually I write about people or situations. Sometimes my writing leads to wronging (ha, ha, ha). I’d be in trouble if some of my friends and relatives realize that they are the ones in my stories. This time I decided to write about writing.

As somewhat of a professional writer (when I sell one of my stories, I get enough money to take my wife out to lunch), I started thinking about real writers – those who know what they are doing.
