Heads Up: I have a creative process. Creative writing is a culmination of imagination, purpose, and skill—for me—to say the least. The world at large consists of myriad forms of communication—one of, if not the, most common being talking. Writing being, arguably, the most important—which I tend to more often than not. Most of the world, at large, develops at different levels of silence. Through this channel, I'm going to engage a variety of topics, familiar and unfamiliar. If you choose to join me in engaging these topics, understand, this is a channel for civil-reasonable discussion(s), learning, and opining. If I don't have an answer, understand, I don't know, we can talk about it.

Heads Up: I have a creative process. Creative writing is a culmination of imagination, purpose, and skill—for me—to say the least. The world at large consists of myriad forms of communication—one of, if not the, most common being talking. Writing being, arguably, the most important—which I tend to more often than not. Most of the world, at large, develops at different levels of silence. Through this channel, I'm going to engage a variety of topics, familiar and unfamiliar. If you choose to join me in engaging these topics, understand, this is a channel for civil-reasonable discussion(s), learning, and opining. If I don't have an answer, understand, I don't know, we can talk about it.

Forever Learning,
