Op-ed essays originally published in the Nassau Guardian (Nassau, Bahamas).
OK. I'm just about ready to move Essays on Life from Blogger to my own server at Blogworld:NB. In consequence, I'm shutting the ability to post comments down on this blog. You can still read all the articles that have been posted here, but all new discussions should take place on Blogworld.
When I was a child and people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would invariably answer "A writer". So here I am, all grown up, and my answer is still the same. Writing is a hobby, and not a profession, of mine. Part of that is because I have to make a living, and I choose to live in a country where the only kind of writing that pays is journalistic, and reporting is a far cry from the poems and plays that have taken up my adult life, or the stories and novels that occupied my adolescence. And part of it is that writing is a very jealous hobby, and all too often it demands far more time that I can honestly give it. But I write a weekly column for the Nassau Guardian, so maybe it's more than a hobby after all.
