A Bit About Me
Some Notes About My Writing
Every Story I tell is an experiment.
Every experiement, an interrogation of self.
I began writing as a way to experiment with my boundaries. It was a way of toying around with my world.
Experimentation is at the core of everything I do to a page.
The human experience is a playful thing.
Without wonder and curiosity, we're just flesh and bone waiting to stop breathing, be buried, and decay.
Life is more than a function of anatomy.
"To convey a sense of awe at just how conscious we are" This is why I write.
An idea is a little like the marble rattling around inside a can of spray paint in that it keeps bouncing against the inside of its container. It can be still. But then it goes unnoticed. You shake the can, that marble starts making a noise.
So, i keep shaking the can and listening to that idea rattling around as an image begins to take shape in my minds eye.
Creation (whether a poem, a novel, a nonfiction piece) is a process of discovery.
