Washington Post staff writer Dan Morse set off to be an engineer. But the tough classes at Vanderbilt, specifically Differential Equations, convinced him to try something else. Like sports-writing, for the college newspaper. It proved a better fit, and soon enough, Morse tried out for the football team so he could write a year’s worth of columns chronicling his exploits as skinny but slow wide receiver. After graduation, Morse combined his engineering degree with his interest in writing and, as if it had been planned all along, took a position at Civil Engineering magazine in New York. Who can forget his prescient 1989 piece on upcoming waste-water treatment disposal regulations: “Sludge in the Nineties.”

I quit my job to write. That’s how much love writing. It’s also an indication of how utterly frustrated I was with my life as a middle manager in a national corporation. Mid-life crisis? No, I don’t think so. It’s more that I saw the finish line approaching more rapidly than I expected thirty years before.
What I am is what I write.
The characters in the St. Isidore Collection, the people who live in this town I have created in my mind, all contain some thread of me. Let’s be honest. I write what I know. And I know the frustration of listening to the millennials at work talk about their plans for the next thirty years, and suddenly realizing I don’t have thirty years left.
