Why I write...

[Gary]

Because I have no choice in the matter.
And often, it's not a very comfortable process. For me, writing is like removing a splinter-sometimes it's relatively effortless, other times it's a painful mess.


I always wanted to write a trilogy about cats, dogs and horses-the three domestic creatures that I treasure the most. The first two are finished and were published by Lyons Press last month-"The Power of Purrs"-Reflections on a Life with Cats and "The Power of Paws"-Reflections on a Life with Dogs. I'm now working on the horse book.

My grandfather was a great writer. Drank himself to death. Sometimes, I write for him...

would love to get my paws on those books. especially the cat book.
why I write---hmm to educate and entertain --sometimes both happen at once I write comedy but I have written a novel based on a dream I had --my dreams are warped and somewhat entertaining. Got the gift of writing from my mom and my grandpa

better to write and drink yourself to death like your grandfather, than go mad like nietzsche in the villa silberblick... with vacant eyes and slack features as helpless as a child, incapable of conveying anything. writing, simply put, is madness. congratulations on your new publication!
