If I could live my life through movie quotes, I would. I'm the type of person who would rather do nothing with someone interesting than do something incredible with someone boring. Life is all about the analogies. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. My party trick is and always will be singing "What Would You Do?" by City High—eight states and over twenty karaoke bars strong. I'm pretty competitive, but I don't accept challenges involving holding my breath under water or jumping over objects. If there are two things I love most in the world it would be moments that allow for speeches and those people who make me want to give them.
I currently live in San Antonio, Texas, with my sister and brother-in-law, and I can safely say they are the reason my first novel will be released in a little under two months. Not only have they given me the time, but they have also played a huge part in making my story come to life. They are both doing their residency here with the Air Force, leaving them few options when their son, Leon, came into the picture. I help take care of him while they are at work, which has allowed me the lifestyle to give my writing a real chance. It's an incredible feeling to know that I'm laying down the pipeline, and it's all starting to feel very real.
This isn't going to be a themed blog but rather a writer's rambling space. I don't want to put myself in a box by saying I'm only going to talk about self-publishing or my tips on making Cup Noodles nutritional. I'm going to free myself from the conventional. I know that people have a general need to have a purpose behind an action, but why can't my purpose be to not have one? I am a part of the tangent-talking species, so I want to widen my platform.
However, I have broken it down into seven main categories:
- Childhood Stories
- Personal Anecdotes
- Thoughts on Life
- Self-publishing
- Past Work
- The Writing Process
- Words of Motivation
