🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Kirk Alex
Have been at this writing game for a few decades now. Love of/for books came at a young age for me, probably way back when I was around 13 or 14, and am glad it did, because writing/reading saved my butt way too many times to count. How so? Well, you get your heart shredded a few times and there you are, hanging on by your fingertips; or else you got no money to buy food or make rent, no car, living in a dump of a furnished room.The way it was for me for many many years while living in hellish Los Angeles. What are the choices? Take yourself out? Drugs? Heavy booze? Sure, did my share of drinking, but it was beer all those years. Drugs? Had no use for drugs. Life was tough enough. Saw what drugs did to a few pals while in the jungles of Nam. So what kept me going? Books. Writing.
