Everyone writes in a way; that is, each person has a "story," a personal narrative that is constantly being replayed, revised, taken apart, and put together again. The significant points in this narrative change as a person ages, what may have been a tragedy at twenty is seen as comedy or nostalgia at forty. All children write. (And paint, and sing.) I suppose the real question is why do so many people give it up?
