“As I would soon learn myself, cleaning up what a parent leaves behind stirs up dust, both literal and metaphorical. It dredges up memories. You feel like youâ€™re a kid again, poking around in your parentsâ€™ closet, only this time thereâ€™s no chance of getting in trouble, so you donâ€™t have to be so sure that everything gets put back exactly where it was before you did your poking around.

“My last point about getting started as a writer: do something first, good or bad, successful or not, and write it up before approaching an editor. The best introduction to an editor is your own written work, published or not.
