1. “… Paper is dead without words,
Ink idle without a poem,
All the world dead without stories…”
-Walt Whitman
“Song of Myself,” 1855

2. To me, no truer words
could be spoken

3. Like everyone, I enjoy
A good story

4. Not just the tale,
But also how it is told

5. Each story, each retelling…

6. No matter what, I found myself
Captivated

7. Drawn in

8. Like I was part of that world,
That wondrous imagination

9. Its what led me to where I am today

10. I feel that wonder
Call to me

11. Be it through stories, film or music

12. It grew to a point
Where I began to make my own stories

13. My own worlds, and tales to spin

14. I created and imagined on my own…

15. Working my passion into each tale,
Each moment

16. All without an outlet

17. I needed to share,
To let others see the world as I do

18. But that outlet never came

19. For years I struggled as the world
Turned me where it wanted me to go…

20. My stories growing and evolving,
Day by day

21. Until finally I realized,
I needed to take the lead

22. It was time to turn my passion
Into my career

23. And so I began

24. I am by far not perfect

25. But my faults will not keep me down

26. I am, and always will be,
A storywriter

27. A narrator

28. And explorer

29. I want to guide others through
My world, through
My stories and horizons

30. I will paint the maps
Of my imagination
