Meet Brian Miga

     We are pleased to introduce  Brian Miga, who joined our local writing group last fall. He lightens the mood each and every time. This is an example of his humor,  a bio written in his own words:

    I started writing stories, primarily about Indians and football players, when I was 7 or 8.  No one was remotely interested in reading these stories so I wasn’t bloodied by any early critical reviews.  My confidence is still soaring!

            Due to the Russians and Sputnik, I was pushed into the math - science course of study at Whitesboro where I learned I would never be an engineer.  It wasn’t until I could choose my courses at University of Rochester that I developed a fondness for literature and writing.  I had some great teachers like Poet Anthony Hecht; it was fun trying to hide in the back of the room.

            After college, I studied law and embarrassed my family by becoming an attorney and, worse yet, a politician.  (My mother always wanted me to be in shoe sales.)

            There are some very talented people at Whitesboro Writers Group and, occasionally, they let me sit at the same table with them.  It is a wonderful group for all who enjoy shaping and sharing stories.  The Whitesboro Writers Group share their knowledge and I learn things every monthly session.
