Hi, again, my friends.

On Writing & Storytelling: Starting a Story from the Middle (an Excerpt from ‘Reunion: A Story’)
An Excerpt from Reunion: A Story In 1987, 11 years before I decided to write my first complete work of fiction, I took a Creative Writing course (CRW-2001, I believe it was) at what was then called Miami-Dade Community College, South Campus.
