Sometimes stories almost write themselves as they just seem to flow from my fingertips, and other times it is just the opposite; try as I might, I just cannot get it done the way I envision. Stumbling over words, finding the right quotes, arranging things so they make sense and trying to keep from being the target of dangerous people, it all seems difficult on some of those stories. “Those stories”? I meant on this one specifically as it is a difficult one to get out without sounding like something I do not wish to sound like. Like racist or arrogant or prideful, which is not my intent so if I miss, this is my apology (and excuse?).
