Launched!

I am quite excited about developments in my writing career that have taken place over the past year. 

• Two movies I worked on were filmed; one was featured in a NYC movie festival and another was entered in a contest.  They were film shorts, but still an awesome turn of events.
• Two different theater companies are currently considering producing two different plays I've written.
• As a part of my grad school work, I've started work on a manuscript for a novel.  I'm learning to approach the craft from a different and more mature angle, now. No more misconceptions (for instance, getting published does NOT mean you get rich).

I'm becoming more comfortable in my own skin and enjoying what I write. I have a unique point of view on the world around me; I need to be able to enjoy it. I've DO have my own voice. That voice may crack a bit when I sing, but it's my voice. I need to find the stories that mix well with my writing style. For the first time, I feel like I am equipped to identify them when I see them. I've got a backlog of projects I want to work on, but I'm exercising some control. My first priority is to learn as much as I can from my school work. 

Relaunching this website was a big step for me. It gave me a chance to re-imagine what I wanted it to do and style it towards those goals. I took the time to rewrite a story or two and to post new work and some older work that had not seen the light of day before. In short, I'm putting myself out there for everyone to see. I suppose this is my way of "embracing my destiny" to be the kind of writer I am.

I'm sorry if anything I write offends anyone. It's not my desire to be "controversial" or extreme in my content or style.  I just want to tell good stories and have fun doing it.  I am having fun; you can judge if the work is good.
