Sometimes it’s negotiation.

#WhyIWrite: To learn, and to figure out what I think about the things I learn
It's NCTE's National Day on Writing. Every year, we reflect on why we write.
#WhyIWrite: So that the running dialogue in my head isn't the only one I'm having.

What began as a gift for my children became a passion I never expected, but one I’m so grateful for. ✨

Goal: write the best fantasy books I can over the next four years using my stories to express what I cannot with simple words. The pen is mightier than the sword. It's time to use it.

I’m forever hoping my readers will find commonality with my characters, and if they can find that, then empathy. It’s why I write

Why I Write
I love to write the way some people love breathing —
not as a habit, but as a small, private miracle.
I step through doors that only exist in my mind
and they open anyway,
spilling entire cities, rooms, histories, and heartbeats
into my hands.

Every time I almost stop sharing my work, someone messages, “I thought I was the only one who felt this.” That’s why I stay.

I don't truly know what I "think" until I have a chance to research and write about it.
I write to think, to share what I think, and to participate in those prickly dialectical tensions.

Is putting your voice into the world valuable if no one is listening? Or is contributing to the chorus of humanity a value in and of itself?
