Almost Fabulous: The Maiden Voyage

I have been writing for years. From poems to opinion pieces to short stories to creative copy to press releases I have scores of work that I have written and shared with only a small audience...until now.

For so long I kept my writing anonymous; afraid to expose my voice to the general public due to the personal and oftentimes raw nature of my work...that is until I sent a piece for review to a writer friend of mine to which he replied something like this:

"You have a truth to your writing that some writers take years to achieve. You have a responsibility to share your voice with those who don't have the same ability to speak for themselves."

Basically, quit being a punk and come correct.

Point taken::: So here I am year and a half later heeding the call to share my voice and make you laugh, cry, think, and sometimes throw your computer from the 34th floor. In all I do, I hope to paint the windows to my world in such a way that our common experiences inspire you to tell your own stories, in your own words...

We all have a voice; let yours be heard.
