After
a long absence, I have finally returned to my author’s website. I realize that
there is no good excuse other than stating that even the life of an avid writer
becomes cluttered with fundamentals of everyday living. There is work (after all, writing is a passion
more than a paycheck), my final term of schooling, and the general tasks of
daily development. But I’d like to think that I have continued to be productive,
building upon my exposure for the sake of creativity.
For
one thing, I have been reading quite a few more books than usual. Whether it is
by my own volition or not is irrelevant, the important thing is that I am
engaging in the stories of others. And the more I read, the insightful I become
as a writer. Going back with a more open mind and reading Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea was nothing less than illuminating.
Many modern day reviews
have stated it as simply dragging on. (No doubt in comparison to some YA
series.) But the very pages of his novel are saturated with symbolism. If you
can read any page one-dimensionally, then you do truly not understand the
words.

The same could be said about many stories.
I guess that’s what I am trying to emphasize. A writer has to be flexible to
every meaning of the word. We have to be open to learning new ideas and
concepts, even though we may feel ours is flawless; because it is flawed. I
find myself talking less these days. (Just as much anti-social as ever.) I
listen and observe, especially to those that are willing to offer. I am
constantly being taught new ways of discerning, and better ways of expressing.
In harmony with innovation, my
website is altering its expression. So please bear with me as I try to make it
accessible and interesting to all. And if you're interested, you can follow my views there. Hope you find me site enjoyable and welcome back to my world!
