My literary journey...

Why Literary Fiction...

I write Literary Fiction because I enjoy creating characters that live and breathe, characters that people can see sitting next to them, characters they can imagine themselves walking with, along a quiet path, as the story takes shape. I am not the director, I am the scribe, documenting the story as I follow my characters on their many journeys.

I was a struggling reader as I grew up. In third grade, I had to undergo eye therapy to strengthen the muscles in my eyes. Until that point, I was unaware that my eyes could not see all the letters on the page, and thus, my reading progression was muted. Despite my struggles, I have been a teacher of literature and writing for 25 years and I am now writing my fourth novel.

While I have been writing for much of my life, it wasn't until about 2018, when I started sharing some of what I had written, that I was encouraged by friends and family to try publishing some of my work. And wihtout much understanding of the process, I set out to write with more intent and to learn the ins and outs of the publishing industry. Driven by my nature to go headfirst into whatever endeavor I take on, I have learned more than I could have imagined about publishing, and more importantly, about myself.

As a creative writing teacher, my main goal is to help students deconstruct the writing process--to break free from the structures that society works so hard to ingrain in our heads--this is how it is done--follow these rules and you can be a good writer too. During this process, there are two things we work on. First, trusting what you have to say--trusting that the voice in your head and the emotions you have coursing through your body are worthy of the written word, whether you share it or keep it for yourself. Second, if you like to write, if you take the time to write, at any level--journaling, blogging, poetry, stories, no matter how rudimentary or polished--know that you are a writer. You do not have to be published. You do not have to be the best in the world or even the best in the room. If you write, you are a writer.

My desire for my students, once they step out of my classroom, is that they have found their voice. That voice may change over time, but they have a starting point, a place to continue creating with confidence.
