American
i experience life, express emotion and record history in writing. i am not consistent. i go in fits and starts, forsaking it in a perfectionist fit for months, diving headlong into it at other times. in most of my writing i work out personal struggle, process conflict, and form observations. / i'm a youth minister and i'm married to an incredible man who is rarely the subject of my writing. i have a hard time writing poetry about things that bring me joy. i'm working on that.
