Writing

Even before I changed my major from Biology/Chemistry to Creative Writing, I have long been a fan of creating fictions with words. I wrote stories as a kid that my mother dutifully helped me bind into first editions keepsakes that turn up on birthdays and around dusty photo-albums these days, lived in an almost all-encompassing world of my own imagination, and eventually came to my senses that maybe science wasn’t the best use of these infatuations once I’d turned 19.

Since then I’ve been an English teacher, a songwriter, an editor, and found moments in time over the last ten years to continue to develop a catalogue of words, some of which I have collected below.
