Salt Lake City, Utah. |
74 yo retired engineer transitioning to writer. Most of my 'professional' life has been spent in Oil & Gas, with forays into Power and Chemicals. My audience is early Boomers - those born between 1946 and 1952. My intent is to paint our world in optimistic colors and hopeful textures. We have a much to give, and more to live. I hope you'll join me on my quest. |
Boomer Lit. Focus is on early Boomers, though I'm not confined to that generation. Exploring the human condition. |
1st person POV with minimal description and narration. I like to let the characters speak for themselves. Novel as screenplay |
Writing, writing, and writing. Along with that is food - cooking and eating, modern art, classical rock and roll, and a general interest in life. As an INTJ with a borderline ENTJ, I can move between both the social and the introspective. |
Mensa, Triple Nine Society, AARP, Houston Writer's Guild, Utah Valley Writers. Several Facebook groups dealing with writing. Open to suggestions. |
Detective, biography, non-fiction, and whatever I'm reading at the moment. |
"East of Eden", "The Old Man and the Sea", etc. List goes on and on. |
Steinbeck, Hemingway, Connelly, and the next one I read. |
Frost. |
"This too, shall pass." |
Classical Rock and Roll. Interest ended with "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night. About the time of Kent State. |
"Casablanca", "To Catch a Thief", "North by Northwest", and ever so many more. |
No longer have TV. What shows I watch are on PBS via their Passport service. "Endeavour", various Ken Burns documentaries, "Poldark", "Vienna Blood", etc. |
