I do not have deep theological understanding or opinion, but I do not read the Bible as the literal word of God.

I got one of the five golden tickets to be a writer, and I take that seriously. I don't love my own work at all, but I love my own self. I love that I've been given the chance to capture the stories that come through me.

Publication is not all that it is cracked up to be. But writing is.

Right foot, left foot, right foot, breathe.
