Writing is my passion and I pursue it with a single-minded determination by writing myself and creating opportunities for others. There's room for all of us to grow and learn as writers. I try to guide those who need it.As for my ow writing: I published my first poetry collection in 2014 and I'm editing my first literary fiction novel for publication. I've also had my blog PenPaperPad.com since 2013 where I showcase my poetry and short stories. I'm the Editor-in-Chief at The Reverie Journal, an online community with a mission to find poets, who aren't afraid to lay their hearts bare for the written word. We offer publishing opportunities, weekly prompts, and publish an annual anthology. Submissions will be open for 2016 anthology until June 31st. For more information: http://thereveriejournal.com/submissionsIn addition, I moderate #writestuff a weekly tweetchat where we discuss all things writing on Tuesday at 9 p.m. Eastern.My online presence is also on YouTube where I make videos about writing and books. I have a weekly Novel Editing Vlog where I talk about my writing process. There is also PenPaperPad Talks Books where I interview indie authors among other videos. I also created Project #WriteTube where I collaborated with 12 writers to discuss different aspects of the National Novel Writing Month as a way to further bring the YouTube writing community attention. I'm also a freelance social media content creator for several small businesses and I write articles and posts for blogs such as YourTango, Mamalode, In the Powder Room, and others.
