Summary:
Language: the sounds of it, the richness of its rhythms, the connotative and the denotative meanings of words have all played a part in my development from a child to the adult I have become making a life for myself. Whether the words I heard flew like fiery darts, or whether they lifted my weary soul, I somehow always found they meant something to special me. Because of my love of language, I began early to read voraciously. The first novel that I read was Gone with the Wind. That story whisked my imagination to a dark and mysterious time and place that, along with the narrative powers of my mother, convinced me that Margaret Mitchell had recreated a real world from her imagination. I still have my own dream that there is a mysterious and hidden world waiting for me to recreate out of my imagination, too.
