PROSE  ...  I   S'POSE

I loved writing stories as a young kid – mostly fiction; imagination stuff. I remember one evening writing (and subsequently performing) an adventure story in "real-time" to my Aunt and her girlfriends during their weekly Friends watching party. Whenever the commercials came on, I would stand in front of the television to read my prose aloud, rushing off once the show returned to feverishly manifest more paragraphs so I could continue telling my tall – and no doubt riveting – tale during the next commercial break.

​I have always wanted a reason to write, along with an appropriate space to keep (and display?) my work. Songwriting gave me a good enough reason for awhile – and now I wish to expand my medium. Writing is a form of nostalgia; I urn to reminisce.

Years ago, throughout my 3 month European backpacking adventure with a friend, I committed to writing in my iPhone notes app every time I sat on a train. On average, I would sit and write every 2-3 days about everything that had happened since the last train ride. This practice saw me chronicle over 50 pages. That was cool of me; I wish to be cool again.

And so, I dedicate this section of my website to all things prose ... I s'pose.

There will be fiction, that's a fact. There will be truth (there's some truth in that). In the end, 
PROSE will be precisely what its definition implies: [prohz] - writing that is not poetry, ordinary writing. Cheers to the ordinary, only upon its recognition can we add a lil' extra.
