A look back at life in the 1960s as a young man comes of age. The memoir includes reflections on himself, people he knew and the events of that time.

Summary:

This novel-length memoir details the growth and emotional shifts that occur when a thirtysomething woman decides to turn her husband's sexual fantasy into reality. While there will certainly be some vivid descriptions of sex as the story progresses, it is intended for a mainstream audience. The more detailed the critique, the better. I can take it!

I have decided to go with the vingette format for my memior and have deleted all previous chapters to start over. Everything you see will be revised chapters or totally new ones. Just because a chapter says chapter 1 doesnt mean it is the beginning of my story. You will have to read all as more will be revealed as each chapter unfolds.

I find the use of writing as a therapeutic tool or one that promotes public health agendas irresistible. I hope this story adequately conveys my obsession with writing and why I can't not do it.

Some of this is true. Some names have been changed. Some of it is probably just a little too silly. Feel free to be critical. I've ripped open my chest and bared my soul so how much more damage can you do? (See, that was probably a silly thing to say, wasn't it?)
