I have always been self-driven and goal-directed without the “helpful push” of a boss. I have always been my own boss.

I essentially wrote A Man of Action as a means of updating my “fictionalized scrapbook” and expressing my frustration with the law.

I essentially wrote A Man of Silence as a way to describe what daily gratitude looks like in slow living, while also coming (somewhat) to terms with my own divorce.

I essentially wrote The Dormant Age as a way to praise and commemorate my lifelong hobby as well as a critique on modern ballet and its destructive ways.

I essentially wrote The Paper Pusher as a way to further connect with my mother’s memory and myself as a young adult.

My fear is that we can go backwards as a society. Literary fiction and other art dies in a bad or sick culture. Today, all literary fiction is tribalistic and not about morality at all.

Ever since childhood, I have used my “microscope” to help me find the words to say.

I have been highly sensitive to my surroundings since I can remember and this contributes to my writerly perspective.

Mission Statement: “I write to inspire readers to cherish the most meaningful moments found in daily life.”

Mission Statement: “I do calligraphy to share the beautiful details found in Copperplate script.”

Mission Statement: “I proofread to uphold the integrity of the American English language and the law.”

I now work for myself as a freelancer and I have nothing to lose, really. I have no teachers or professors there to lower my grades, I have no boss to fire me, I am completely on my own now and able to sink or swim by my own design.
