Background
Information
Writing for me is a way of working through problems or garbage in my life. I also love to see words on a page that I have created. I once took a course with a remarkable teacher who gave me the incentive and push to get my thoughts down on paper. My critique group also provides the help I need to better my writing. Writing is a healer, an inspiratrion and a motivation.
