Why I write
I waited beneath an Appalachian sun for life to pass. Then reached up and plucked a thought that formed a paper leaf. Then frantic grabs, again, again, to make a branch. And branches vined into a tree. Until a forest defined the sky and created me. I write to build a world. I write to live.
