My writing life?
I write mainly poems. I enjoy the introspective nature of poems and the quiet, sweet, or furious demeanor of daily living that allows me to inhale the words that I need to write. I am also trying to write short stories and flash. This is more of a struggle as it reveals my weaknesses in storytelling and finding my authentic writing voice. I love the fact that I am still learning and growing and I can't wait to see who I become as a writer after WIM.
My Reading Life?
I read short stories, poems, science fiction, fantasy, and romance. I love reading poems by Emily Dickinson. Some of my favorite novelists are Daniel Silva, Nalini Singh, Dan Brown, Liane Moriarty, Jackie Collins, James Baldwin, and J. California Cooper. My favorite novels to date are A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Sarah's Key, The Shack, A Woman of Substance, and Between The World and Me.
What I am working on right now?
I am working on a middle-grade novel tentatively titled - Sideways John. I am always writing poetry and scenes for short stories that might not see the light of day.
My Writer In Motion Project:
Adult fiction, tentatively titled - Another Woman
