My name is Paul Long. Thanks for dropping by. My site has two primary reasons.
The first is for me to ramble on and on about whatever I want to ... (personal cheap therapy :-) )
The second is to let my friends know what I am up to.
Please note that this site represents my PERSONAL ramblings, perceptions and thoughts and NOT that of my family members or any other groups or organizations I am affiliated with :-)
Making Our Lives Available to Others through our stories
Making Our Lives Available to Others
One of the arguments we often use for not writing is this: "I have nothing original to say. Whatever I might say, someone else has already said it, and better than I will ever be able to." This, however, is not a good argument for not writing. Each human person is unique and original, and nobody has lived what we have lived. Furthermore, what we have lived, we have lived not just for ourselves but for others as well. Writing can be a very creative and invigorating way to make our lives available to ourselves and to others.
We have to trust that our stories deserve to be told. We may discover that the better we tell our stories the better we will want to live them.
