NaNoWriMo

My dear reader, I understand your confusion. Few have learned the meaning of that dreadful acronym. It is not for the faint of heart, and many who have braved it's depths have fallen.

Energy

In many ways I am the oddball of the family. We all have our quirks and I believe we have a larger share of quirks than most families. Yet I seem to have acquired an ailment that is peculiar only to myself. I am a morning person. Granted, there are members of my family who …

This Is Why

I am a writer. Why? I get to be a kid and a grown up...simultaneously. My stories can be filled with fantasies and flights of fancy that weave adult problems and serious topics through them.
