It never has and it never will.

About the Blog Authors
- Lester Leavitt
- I had lived for 44 years before celebrating mid-life by finally pursuing my passion for writing. I finished my first novel, but ended up forcing the ending. I set it aside and started a second novel, allowing the characters to evolve on their own. It became very autobiographical, and by the third chapter I realized what I was doing. I was writing about the life I should have lived, and before the book was finished I had written myself out of the closet. Today, I am a contemporary essayist. In the words of Phillip Lopate, an essay "...tracks a person's thoughts as he or she tries to work out some mental knot. ... An essay is a search to find out what one thinks about something. ... An essayist wears proudly the confusion of an independent soul trying to grope in isolation toward the truth." (In Search of the Centaur: The Essay-Film.)
