I write about my past.
You ask me why.
To recall memories,
To laugh, to cry.
I write in the present.
I’ll tell you why . . .
To connect with others–
Seeing eye to eye.
I write for the future.
The reason why . . .
To leave a legacy
When I die.
A blog about the craft of writing, editing, and the process of publishing one's work.

About Me
- Gloria Heinemann
- Buffalo, New York
- A freelance writer, sociologist/gerontologist, and former professional nurse, I write memoir, nostalgia, and health features--books, articles, and personal essays. I'm interested in networking with other writers who are trying to publish their work. From my saltbox house, built in 1910, I write almost every day and take breaks to play with my kitty, Missy Shadow.
Gloria...your poem says so succinctly why we write - for recall, for connecting, for legacy. I like it!
