Just write! Who cares about all of the technicalities and mechanics at the beginning?! Writing is an art-form that needs practice, if you don't train your mind to put your thoughts onto paper, then it will always be a challenge.

Being able to move and inspire someone with my words. I love to make people laugh, to make them feel, to make them reflect on their own lives and to hopefully, somehow, make their day just a little bit better.

I wanted to start a blog over a year ago. My first post was an idea that came to me about everything that I have learned from growing up around my grandpa and his chickens. After writing that blog post and getting positive feedback, I saw the potential for a good book... so I ran with it.

Naps. Lots of naps. Honestly, emotion has always played a huge factor in inspiring me to write. The love of a woman, a scenic drive down some back road, a touching movie, or some past experience that bubbles to the surface. It's always about trying to capture some feeling and creating a way for the reader to feel that same emotion.

My next book will be a psychological thriller based, partially, off of true events from my time in the Marines and Iraq.
