    Poet

    Upon A Hillside

    Haiku is my favorite form of poetry because of how easily it flows. I also like rhyming poems or poems that can be sung.

    My greatest ideas are conceived when I am moving, whether when running back and forth across the room, standing, or even brushing my teeth. As long as I am not still, ideas come to me through a process which I call a Velvet Fantasy, named after a toy black dog with a nose made of velvet, given to me by my aunt. Her name is Velvet Sandford and I still have her to this day.

    I want to encourage people, especially young people, to write, because their writing could one day change lives. Writing novels that will greatly impact the lives of others is one of my many goals in life. Even if my books never change anyone's life, writing is an enjoyable and stress relieving activity that every person should experience.
