What "best"?

My best is entering into something I create with an honest heart, and leaving with an even fuller one. Honesty is the beginning and end of my creative process. My best writing is a word-mirror of what’s in front of me. It is made of a love and courage that turns into strength and hope when complete.

I’ve grown as a writer in the last couple of years because I’ve cut the last chunks of fat off the meat. I’m clearer. Not crystal. I want to be crisp. I want you to be able to crawl inside my head so you can see you are less strange than you believe.

Art is communication, art is honesty, art is courage. I have struggled with calling myself an artist or writer since I’m not making millions of dollars and don’t have an agent.

I’m still an artist, and know I am, because writing is a compulsion and constant draw. That’s how you know. And there you go.
