After all that writing, I still enjoy writing just for the fun of it. However, I pride myself on producing well researched content that can communicate difficult concepts to all types of readers.

So, that's my public profile. I do really love writing. However, I think that my creativity and "spark" have suffered over the years because I have had to force my writing into the precise little box required by courts. Not to say that defending some of my clients has not required some creativity
, but I want to recapture the original joy of writing what I'm interested in.When I got my Rhetoric and Writing degree all of my classmates wanted to be poets or novelists. i dreamed of being a freelance writer for magazines and newspapers. This was in the mid-70's, back when authors mailed submissions into the slush pile and prayed. But since then, when people ask me what I would like to do if I was not practicing law, I always tell them I'd like to be a freelance feature writer. I still want that. So joining CC pushes me a little down that path.
The early articles I submit will likely still be law related because that's my comfort zone. But someday I want to "graduate" to writing articles like "10 Ways to Get Fleas off Your Dog" or "Amazing Places to Visit in Oklahoma."
This is gonna be fun.
