What do you create?

I say this with sincere humility: I aim to create beauty and truth. Which is to say, stories of tragedy and hope, loss and redemption; images of the infinite human longing to connect; silences to acknowledge what cannot be named. My prose and my poetry are sometimes indistinguishable from one another, and in my view that’s a good thing.

Why do you create?

To quote myself (from a poem called “What Matters” from GRAVITY):

I wanted to make something out of nothing,

out of air, words.

The simple truth is that I’ve always felt compelled to express myself artistically — and in nearly every form. At one time or another throughout my life, I’ve at least dabbled with being a dancer, singer, actor, painter, musician. I suppose you could say that eventually I realized writing is my home planet, the place I feel able to be most fully myself. Mind, heart, body and soul.

What do you consume?

I’m greedy for the natural world in its purest sense. Bluegreen water, salt or fresh; beaches and mountains and deserts. Language of many kinds including independent films and live music. Also, lots of green plants! If I could photosynthesize, I would.

How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ve cleaned the gutters and raced Roxy to the vet ER to determine she did not (thankfully) eat any of the scrap of composite plastic decking she magically found out of freaking nowhere. (Getting pet insurance was the smartest thing I’ve ever done). I’m extremely bad at rest. Although I do find puttering around the house kind of meditative. Cleaning the gutters exhausted my body, but calmed my mind (briefly).
This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a couple times a week and we all like to stand around staring at each other. It’s lovely. Francis seems just as interested in us as we are in them. (And look at that stance! And Francis’s little paw resting on the ledge 😍). #groundsquirrel #groundsquirrelsofinstagram #dailyroxydog #dogstagram #neighbors
I don’t think there’s anything more comforting I don’t think there’s anything more comforting than lying in a hammock. I’m exhausted. I’ve pushed against the limits of my being very hard all summer working on my draft and I definitely need to soak up some calm quiet on a large scale. Which is also to say if I owe you a call/email/text, it might take me a week or two to circle back. I’m going to catch up with myself and then with everyone else this time. Which I think might mean spending as much time as I can lying in my hammock listening to birds. #rest

All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snack All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snacks to crunch while I’m working. But since I have MCAS and it limits my diet, most of what I eat is food I make myself. Thankfully, corn tortillas are a safe food for me (everyone’s MCAS is different — so please don’t take my safe foods as any kind of sign they’re safe for someone else who has MCAS). Today, I remembered that I  have tiny cookie cutters, so I made myself a bowl of mini chips. I tossed them with lime juice and salt and threw them in the air fryer. And then, of course, because I don’t want to waste food, I did the same for the scrap pieces (which somehow tasted even better!). So happy! #tortillachips
