I am an observer of life and a collector of personal stories.  I believe my creative non-fiction takes on a memoir-like genre, athough that was not my original intent.  I speak in metaphor and allegory and imagine that I am the protagonist in my life's passion play. 

And I like Oreos.

I'd love to make writing friends near and far. 

Help me help you help me.

Help, I need somebody.
Help, not just anybody.
Help, you know I need someone, help!

Let's connect.  Posted my first story.  Let me have it.

Just posted my first submission: "What Was I Thinking?" - 845 words, creative non-fiction, about my mid-life career crisis.  Would love your friendship and your help...

Hey there, my genre was creative nonfiction, and perhaps we can relate on some level. Feel free to PM if you feel lost or anything! What's your name?

That is the most disgusting looking cake I have ever seen.  I would not eat that. 

Also, welcome.

@AD who are you to argue with the father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife? He will have his vengeance in this life or the next for insulting his cake.

Nasty Cake should totally be someone's screen name.
