No, not really.

Yes, I write. I write all day, for a living. For publication. But not like you. I write legal material, published in the public record.

When I was in my 20s and younger, I was a writer. I wrote a lot of fiction and poetry and several plays that were performed. (As a really little kid, I wrote, acted, and directed neighborhood prodcutions, a la Our Gang.)

I kind of burned out and stopped writing during law school (I think it kills almost everyone's impulse to art, which is one main reason I discourage people who tell me they want to go to law school).

It's always on my mind, to start writing again. I think I will at some point.

Presently, I am a voracious consumer of other people's good writing.
