Is every one of your poems based on your own life experience? |
When I first started out, they were, and still are from time to time, but mostly now I write about the characters I see and read about on a daily basis. |

Do you write about spontaneous moments in your life? |
Only if they're interesting. |

How does your childhood play into your writing? |
Not knowing why my father chose to live without me in his life has lead me to portray myself in my poems as a character who acts tougher than I really am. |

What's your process? |
I take a title or stanza from my notebook and write the poem around it. |

What transition has your writing made through technology |
I have made no transition. I write with a pen, paper, and notebook. The only time modern technology gets involoved is when I type up my poems for storage onto my laptop. I keep paper
copies of each poem as well...old habits die hard. |

Are you going to try to get your work in the hands of larger publishers to increase your fan base? |
Of course I am! Though as of yet, they are slacking in the matters of recognizing my genius. |

Do you find the process of writing cathartic and do you see yourself emerging through it? |
If not for the page, I'd be even more emotionally stunted than I already am. Without this outlet I'd still be holding onto ghosts I'm better off without. |
