Writing
Why I write...
I’ve always loved words. They are the building blocks that give us our life. They can empower or destroy, transfix or transform. And when used impeccably, they can resonate so loudly as to leave people speechless. I use them to evoke emotion, take an audience on a journey, or set them on a melody so perfectly, they can sing.
