: About Me

My passion is ...

writing, recycling and reusing, portrait drawing (people and pets), creating in any form.

I know too much about ...

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a chemist. I wanted test tubes, and liked to leave odd combinations of mostly food ingredients to incubate in my jewelry box.

My favorite memory ...

is the taste of a delicious doughboy from a popular waterside shack in Rhode Island.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Reading: Christian life application books, Watching: Crafting Shows, PBS Indie films, Nature and Science Documentaries, etc. Listening to: Sermons (Online)& Christian Rock Radio

My first job ...

was as a gas station cashier off the highway. I used to arrive early just to read and write a little something.

My best moment ...

is after I've worked arduously on a piece of my writing and when I go back to read it a year later, I still like it.

My inspiration ...

comes from an impression of a moment, the sounds of words, and sometimes something just taps me on the shoulder and hands me something amazing.
