Inception

Makes me want to be the best writer I can be.

I'll put more here when I get around to it.

You and Your Waylon Jennings: Live!

Below is a video of me reciting my winning poem at the LitFest awards ceremony. Either because mine was the shortest of all the winning entries, or because none of the other poetry winners wanted to, I was the only one to read that night. I wanted to say a lot more, but I didn't really know how much time I had up there. So naturally, I said the one thing that I felt mattered the most: I wrote it for a friend, and not to win.




It still amazes me that I won, and it's renewed my sense of confidence that I can be successful as a writer. I hope to do a lot of writing for my summer vacation, and I plan on submitting my stuff to different publications as well. Though I am planning to keep my expectations realistic, I think I have a pretty good chance of getting something published.
