Welcome

Here in the heart of Oregon, with a purple writing shed in the back and a sea of sunflowers in the front—I’m living my tiny creative life. With an exploratory, meandering process, I’m writing into what it is to be here now and fashion my discoveries into a kind of humanity art. How I have been created and re-created by specific places and experiences; how this particular body-mind made meaning—these are my endless fascinations.

Some Thoughts on Creating

Aim for truth,  whether it's fiction, a poem, a memoir or visual art, in compelling work, there's always something emotionally true. Excavating cultural biases and digging under what seems obviously true, these are my superpowers.  After writing a passage I may reread and ask: Is that as true as I can make it? How does that serve the story, the point, the protagonist?


Write from the body: I write to discover what I think, to pen new forms that reflect how living in this time feels in my body. 


Creatively meditate.  Creatives use all sorts of hacks to call in the muse or simply get into a focused creative mood. Me, I sit. As in meditate. I play in the liminal, in-between states of consciousness using ancient yogic meditations to not only chill out the noise, but to access deeper creative states.


Live smaller to create bigger. I zen-ified my scene with a minuscule mortgage, a well-paying part time day job and a tiny purple writing shed! My burden is light so I have the freedom to create.

Creative space.
