My Writing Philosophy
Writing is an inherently organic process, and mentoring a writer doesn't create talent but rather helps to hone preexisting skills.  I work with individuals searching for their creative spark and hoping to enrich their own lives and the world around them through beautiful, precise communication.  Feel free to contact me with any and all of your writing needs!

I write, and I teach.  These two essential elements provide me both personal and professional success.

    

   The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in
their significance to ourselves they find their own order the continuous thread
of revelation.
