“You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.”
–Annie Proulx
I read a lot and write a lot – hence my somewhat tattered, overstuffed, black-and-white Vera Bradley bag. It always includes two books, one to read and one to write in.
As a raconteur and researcher, my free moments are filled with reading, writing, and learning. I have ghostwritten several hundred – nearing a thousand – articles and penned plenty of personal pieces. I continue my adventures editing and drafting copy for print.
On my desk sits a plaque that reads, “Don’t Forget Your Daydream.” It is a reminder that, “the story I am writing exists, written in absolutely perfect fashion, some place, in the air, ” and I continue to capture it sentence by sentence and page by page.
There are many reasons to visit a writer’s website and I sincerely hope you find what you seek. Of course, websites, like unpublished manuscripts, are a work in progress. If you are looking for something that is not here, please feel free to drop me a note.
