the first word

There was a time in my life when I was pretty sure I was going to be- I wanted to be- a writer. An accelerated medical degree and eleven years after, here I am trying to fulfill that dream. Stephen King said "When asked how I write, I invariably answer, 'one word at a time." Borrowing from one of the smartest writers I've ever come to read, here I am, trying, one word at a time.
