I published my first two books in the early years of high school. I was raised on books, so writing became one of my principle hobbies.
The novels, which it is clear were written by a 14 year old, could use some work, and though I am not particularly proud of the quality of their content, I am proud that I did it. I found out early on that writing and publishing was a very real possibility with the right amount of gumption. Since then, I have written all sorts of miscellaneous pieces from journalism to language learning advice and travel writing.
These days, I have cast aside the endless pursuit of a “brand” or making my writing marketable. I write what I want to for the pure joy that it brings me.
On this site, you’ll find all sorts of things. Mostly commentary on current events, short stories, and if I am feeling nostalgic, a travel article. Behind the curtain, I am working on several novels, short stories, and all sorts of other pieces while trying my best to hone the craft and enjoy the process.
