You've penned memoirs, but also books and play writing and screen writing. It sounds like it s is a true creative channel for you as well. My father wanted me to go into the electrical union when was a ten-year-old. And so i failed the a a test to go into the electricians union. I didn't really have any other skills, and i somehow went to college on o a little wrestling a thing, which didn't last very long.
