Hi, it's ... Me

Over the years, I’ve had a lot of blogs, none of which have lived on my actual website with my name overtly attached. That’s been for a lot of reasons, beginning with the fact that back in the day basically everyone had a Blogger account—it was practically issued in tandem with your MySpace page. And then I had separate blogs because I felt like I had to stick to writing about a niche topic, to stay on-theme. And I also kept separate blogs because I wanted to keep my work life and my private life separate. Which, when I think about it, is sort of silly coming from a writer. Life and stories and writing are my work. Telling them is who I am.

As a new year begins, I’ve decided that my touchstone word is: light. To let more light in, to shine more light out, to let the light fall upon me. I love writing other people’s stories … and I’ve also hidden behind them for quite awhile now, mainly subconsciously.

This is all to say that if you’ve come to my website to learn about my work or to read professional advice, you can find that—but not on this page. This space is just for, well, writing. A place for me to record some of my thoughts, musings, and just generally write about the random goings on in my life. And if you’ve made it this far—well, thanks.
