I have decided to write this short piece as a means to share why I have become a writer of Prince Rogers Nelson Fiction. It is not something that I ever saw myself doing, although I have been an amateur writer most of my adult life and later became a professional one in a very technical area . Those things that I wrote for my own enjoyment were primarily confined to poetry. But after 2 years of thrashing about after Prince"s death, trying to find relief from the very painful emotions his loss had opened up in me I decided I needed to find an effective outlet for my grief. Tears. anger and prayer can only take you so far in working through the profound sense of loss so many of us experienced when Prince died. At some point one must take some form of action to begin the process of moving forward and becoming unstuck in the mire of upset and pain without trying to involve family and co-workers who you know, despite caring for you, would simply not understand. Accidentally finding Wattpad changed much in my life and maybe even helped to save it!
