i was adopted. i was born into identity. i have no idea where i came from historically or ethnically. Therefore, i am a culture of myself. All the activities and chapters in my life created who i am today. i am free to select those i deem worthy of being in my family. i do not have to abide by longstanding rules or regulations. i do not have to follow in the footsteps of some long dead relative. i am a culture of myself. What i do, the things i believe in, and the rituals i make... build my identity.
i am connected to nothing at all, and deeply connected to everything around me.
i came from the earth. i am a true child of nature and spirituality. This is my gift.

Story Soundtracks
The first year I participated in NaNoWriMo, I created a soundtrack to write by because I thought it’d be fun and help motivate me to greatness. I’m a writer who writes to music and it did spur me on. Over…
The Value of Tracking Scenes
Last night I attended a NaNoWriMo Plot Party where we discussed various techniques on plotting and drafting stories. One of the things that stuck with me was a small discussion revolving around the idea of scenes in novels. Taken from…
Remember Scholastic?
