Wny do I see myself as a jourmalist
Take your pick The main reason I view myself as a journalist rather than a writer is I usually write short stories , not novel length books . I have said often that I admire Jane Austen , but I write more like Mickey Spillane ; if something is in my story it has a purpose other than padding the pages. I have written several longer stories, and if I thought they would get read I am sure I could repeat the process, and write a fuller length story.
