Mama, I Want to Be A Writer
"This was the day that I learned to include some names and something familiar to the people in my life in my writing to say thanks for inspiring me, to include current culture in my writing, and always to be conscious of who my audience was."
My Writings
"We all have a story to tell. It's just that some of us are crazy enough to share it with the world: scars, wounds, warts, and all."
My Creative Process
"The idea floats in my head until I eventually write it down or dismiss it as an outlandish idea."
A Philosophy of Art
"Experiencing art leads to discoveries that help, inspire, and influence mankind...Each sense is experienced in a real way in life by mankind because life is experienced through mankind’s bodily senses, sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch, along with other non-traditional senses, such as temperature, kinesthetic, and pain. These bodily senses lend themselves to mankind’s appreciation of art."
I'm A Blogger!
"I’m a writer because God gave me that talent. But my grandmother opened my eyes to the gift that I had inside. She started me on my path as a writer."
Favorite Writing Quote
