I am often happiest in the quiet moments of writing between bouts of movement, exploration and observation. Travel through foreign lands where I can be among the people of different cultures, once provided the bulk of my inspiration. Now, I find reason to write through internal movement, exploring myself, observing my own emotions and expectations, and how they are changing. My newest blog, Pix to Words, in which I use my own photographs as writing prompts, exemplifies this new writing path well.

This is the archive of all my posts on New West Writers .
