I will continue to learn to improve. I have a love for writing,\u00a0 because I have a mind that does not cease thinking.\u00a0 I have been a day-dreamer for as long as I can remember.\u00a0 I once created the prequel of &#8220;Alien&#8221; in my own mind.\u00a0 Prometheus just ruined my story. I absorb so much through reading, listening and observation that I have to write down what I think.\u00a0 Most of my life I have suffered from insomnia and I know it is attributable to the thoughts that race through my head.\u00a0 My brain is overloaded with inventory.<\/p>\n<p>I have mentioned in previous posts that I am a member of Toastmasters International. Many of my speeches, especially humor, came from what I have written here in this blog.\u00a0 I have won a few trophies for my speeches and evaluations of other speakers.\u00a0 Once I have these ideas written down here in this blog, it serves as my own personal library.\u00a0 I just choose to share these thoughts with readers.\u00a0 Most of my posts are absurd, because I am a silly man the age of 53.\u00a0 I love being an adult, but there are times when my inner child wants to strip naked and run around in total freedom of adult constraints.\u00a0 To do so would create a whole new constraint in an asylum, so I have to be careful.<\/p>\n<p>I have deeper thoughts than many people I know. Some of those thoughts are also present here, even some poetry if you wish to find it. I spent ten years of thinking and writing on the three books that comprise my mythology &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/E.W.-Greenlee\/e\/B009IZ8CMQ\">The Chosen One of Allivar<\/a>. So far, not too many people have read the story or have provided a review.\u00a0 Those that have seem to have enjoyed it.\u00a0 All I can do is write and disseminate information about my stories here and on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EWGreenlee\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/EW-Greenlee\/201926386509616\">Facebook<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/5253370.E_W_Greenlee\">Goodreads.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t win a literary award in my lifetime and I do not care, that is not the point.\u00a0 I will be scorned by those that seek grammatical perfection, but I not care about that either. All I care about is the people who I may give thought to, or those that might enjoy a smile or laugh in an otherwise horrible day.\u00a0 You see, we are all family, you and I, and we share time and space now here on this blue ball. I write about the human experience and the issues that matter to me, or the ones that make me shake my head.<\/p>\n<p>I am emptying the inventory of daily thoughts from my head.\u00a0 It provides me comfort and for once in my lifetime I am finding I am able to sleep more through the night.\u00a0 In the end, I will be able to reflect back on life and know without regret that I gave life, including my writing, 100% of my effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let me start off by saying I am not a professional writer.\u00a0 I would love to be one.
