Growing up in a small town, my mother used our front porch as an outdoor living room for family and friends to pass the time. A place where advice was garnered, jokes were told, melodies were sung, and stories were spun. It was a place where my mother told tales that taught us the cultural ideals of family, friends, and community. I’ve carried her lessons into my approach to writing. My stories and music address subtle messages of friendships, community acceptance, respect, collaboration, forgiveness, and acceptance.

It doesn’t matter if my thoughts are scattered pieces or a brief memory from childhood. By writing my initial ideas I’m acknowledging the potential of a story.
I try to dedicate the early morning after waking up as my main time to write. I find that is when my energy and clarity to productively think is most energized and not constrained by the things that need to be done or have not gotten done during the day. Once a day starts you never know what life will bring.
I also enjoy the late evening hour when the house is quiet. I usually don’t have the energy for a marathon session, but it has always been a reflective time.
