Thankfully, the words always come. This is possibly the best compliment I can pay myself as a writer -- and believe me, I don't flatter myself about my work often. Either by magic, or talent or repetition, each time I sit down to write, something has to be said. The published magazine articles and experimental essays, the minor jottings on the backs of receipts or that I type with thumbs on my BlackBerry, all come from the same place that any writer is able to find -- and they're all collected here. Here is my invitation to you to read over my shoulder while I write in my personal notebook, which I hope you'll enjoy as long as you don't mind a few creative writing exercises and character studies mixed in with actual stories. I write for the experience, the feeling, and to sort out my thoughts about what happens in my life. As long as you want to read, I have words for you.
