Why do I love writing so? Can’t rightly say I suppose though I can take a stab at why the passion burns inside of me.

Growing up as a young mixed child from an abusive household in my early years I found myself lost in a sea of turbulence. Spending several years in a foster home at such a tender age hardened me a bit to social construct but I did make an amazing discovery. Books and stories once consumed could never leave you. Sure, sometimes the details of tales slide to the edge of slippery memories but the gist and guts of a good story sticks in your craw and never leaves you alone for long.

After moving to and fro through my youth I had few belongings to call my own. Two pairs of jeans, a handful of t-shirts and a box of comics. That old beat-up box of comics was the only constant in my life and every book was bagged and boarded with great care. I loved those stories, and they helped keep me sane during an insane roller coaster ride of capricious youth.

Later in my 20’s there were several nights a good book kept me out of the club and the insanity that would always ensue with the colorful cast of characters that surrounded my reality.

I started writing late in life. I wasn’t the best student at school but when it came to creative writing, I had a knack for it. But it was an itch I never took the time to scratch as I worked and toiled to make all mighty dollar to provide options for myself and my young family.  It wasn’t until the world caved in on itself and the entire West coast of the United States along with many others went into long term lockdown that I started to seriously consider writing. My mindset was to stop being consumers and become creators.

I take the craft serious to create the best reading product my feeble capabilities allow at present. But we always make certain to have fun and keep it light.

So, I recommend the same for you. Regardless of where you’re at in your life today keep the faith. Know you have the power of a natural storyteller deep inside your guts. Don’t worry so much about what others think or believe. After all. You can please some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time, but you can’t please all the people all the time.

So just be you. Smile. Live. Love and most of all WRITE!

You can please some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time but you cant please all the people all the time.
