Paul Richmond remembers his first attempts to keep a journal. How bad his hand writing was, not being able to keep within the lines. Not knowing what to write, just knowing he wanted to write. 40 years later after many journals, performance pieces in which he wrote or co-wrote the scripts for his solo, duet, and group shows. He starter to assemble these writings he saw as "stories." This led to presenting at local poetry / spoken word events. Which have been collected to create "No Guarantees - Adjust and Continue." and "Ready or Not - Living in the Break Down Lane"
