| Q. What advice would you give to people who want to write? A. If you want to be published, write about something you feel others would want to read, not necessarily what you know. Then do the research, which will flesh out the story. Before writing it is best to start with an outline. Who are the main characters? Who are their arcs? In other words, what is their personal challenge and how, by the stories, do they resolve it or develop as a person. Q. Did you go to college? If so, what was your major? A. I went to Penn State and earned my Bachelors in Physical Education, then went to the U. of Delaware to earn a masters in Sports Medicine, then another 4 years at Temple Universtiy to earn a doctorate in Sports Administration. Q. Any final thoughts or advice? A. Be your own soul, learn to live, Some may hate you--take no heed, Some may discourage you--take no care, Sing your song, dream your dream, hope your hope, and pray your prayer. |
