“I am an artist… I am here to live out loud.” -Emile Zola
There’s something about being a writer that adds flavor to the world. Life’s not so boring anymore once you start writing. Even the hardest parts of writing are not due to flavorlessness. The most flavorless part of writing is when you don’t write anything at all. The world grows dull and your body ages much faster when you quit writing. There’s no sound evidence of that, but that’s how I feel. You’ve got to write in order to feel and heal and bring yourself to do something that’s quite extraordinary. If you’re bored or tired of your life, the best cure is to write.

I just finished my first novel. It’s called Writer’s Quest: A Triptych. It’s an experimental fiction novel inspired by the triptychs that hang in Catholic churches. Just like triptych paintings have three panels that tell one story, Writer’s Quest has three distinct parts that tell one story. The art doesn’t end there; the story explores the metamorphosis of a woman who’s in search of her mom. So fun to read! Buy it here.
