Wright Gres
My answer to what can be best described as a mid-life crisis was to sign on as a deckhand on a schooner about to embark on a transatlantic. Six months later, after an adventure of a lifetime exploring the Mediterranean, I came home feeling the need to read more and learn more about the places I'd been, the history, and to some extent even the politics. I found it was a big world out there.
A few years later, after my experiences and what I'd learned had had the time to simmer a bit, I found I had a story to tell. For me creating a fictional adventure that the Walter Mitty in me could enjoy was far more rewarding than non-fiction.
