I know I would think it was a pretty easy gig, so did Dave, but I also know that it would bring with it an incredible amount of stress, danger (both to yourself and others) and sorrow. I liked the idea that as a way to get better as a writer to use Dave The Dishwasher as a kitchen sink of ideas, anything goes, but what started out as almost a throw away story eventually became a personal journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A personal journey where I would accept my life for what it is, instead of seeking the adventures I saw in movies, TV and other stories, I saw that my life was already an adventure. All I needed was a little change in perspective. At the time I&#8217;m writing this Dave The Dishwasher is unfinished, but not forgotten, while his story ends abruptly for us, I still hear echoes from his area of my imagination, and when I need to go on another personal journey he&#8217;ll be there to guide my hands as I type his next adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80)\"><em>The stories will be posted on this website as they are in my documents.
