Story Crafter

Crafter.
It is a word
 you don't hear
very often in terms
of writing.
I think it describes my work
fairly well.
I certainly didn't create
the life stories
I tell.
And
truthfully,
I hope to do more
than just tell them.
I would like to
craft the stories
in such a way
that they change
the reader's
heart
the same way
they
changed
mine.
