After showing promise as a writer at a young age, I took a decade away from writing ANYTHING after high school, suffering from good ol' fashioned ambivalence. Finally buckling down in Feb. '10, I began with a short story titled 'The Inbetween' which was published relatively quickly by Scars Publication and later by Conceit Magazine. Gaining a confidence that shattered that former insecurity, I immediately began work on a full-length novel. Completed in just under six months, I have now begun the daunting and sometimes soul-crushing process of submitting it to agencies. Writing poetry, though, has proven to be very inspiring as it ushers forth the deep recesses of our being, revealing insights that we never knew existed, which are certain to enrich our lives long after we've typed out that handful of words.
