Mission statement

I have always loved to write. It is an art that I love to explore in its many forms, and I welcome any opportunity to do so-- any chance to refine my craft. The world is precious to me, and I want to make a difference in it somehow. If writing professionally allows me to do this, I embrace it even more.
