What led you to be a writer?

 

From the Original
Van Gogh’s Ear Anthology

“I’ve written things forever. Poems, songs, short stories. Writing has always been a constant in my life, even though it was for personal pleasure rather than a career.

Once upon a time I believed in our legal system with a fierce passion. Some of the most beautiful writing can be found in this Nation’s founding documents. Sadly, as in nearly every profession these days, the spirit of the law has sagged and taken a back seat to winning at all costs. Dollar figures dictate more than principal and I didn’t want to grow bitter with my work so I slowly walked away. I am truly much happier for it and think I am a nicer person than I used to be. But that is a matter of opinion. You’d have to ask my family for confirmation on that one.”

.

“Things could have gone a totally different way for me, though that’s true for everyone.

Channeling my crazy into writing has been a much safer deal for the planet as a whole.”

– Mell Corcoran
