 My first novel was an adaptation of one of my plays. I did it as an exercise to "open up" and explore the characters' broader lives. I also used NaNoWriMo to push me to complete a first draft quickly. I'm currently revising my novel Grounded. It's in what I believe people are calling the philosophical fiction genre these days. 

I LOVE the creative process, and I truly believe it is something we all use every day. From my time as a dancer, teacher, life coach, and writer, I've learned so much about knowing where you are in the process. I'm currently revising a book about it! The 7 Stages- The Process of Creating the Life You Want. 

After success with my first short film, Me, Myself, and I, written during the Pandemic, I decided to tackle something larger. After taking several classes, I jumped in and wrote a first draft of "Birds of a Feather." What a challenge coming from playwriting. I've gotten feedback from several industry writers, and now I'm on to the revisions—wish me luck!
