Confession: To be a Writer of Conscience

I want to be the kind of writer who isn't afraid to make you cry or laugh or dream. Words matter, they have power and beauty and freedom, and with them, you can make this world a better place. Don't believe me? Check out the PEN International Book Festival. http://www.pen.org/ And check out Robert Flynn's blogs on the site.
