About Me
I like to write poetry, prose, and am currently working on a memoir. I've lived an interesting life, and I have quite a story to tell. Hopefully, I'll be able to get it out there so a lot of people can see it. I've had some of my poems published in local e-zines, but I am trying to get my memoir published when it's done.
Type of Writer
I consider myself a poet, first and foremost.
Writing Style
Usually pretty spontaneous--I don't like to change a lot of stuff around unless I feel it's really necessary
Interests
Writing poetry, reading books, especially on philosophy, psychology, and spirituality. I also am into martial arts and eastern philosophy. I love most traditional sports too. I'm a big music fan also.
