"The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion. Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching nor learning. They are windows on the past, mirrors on the present, and prisms reflecting all possible futures. Books are lighthouses, erected in the dark sea of time."
- Geoffry Robins

Before I was anything else, I was a writer. I've wanted to be a professional writer since I was twelve, and have never lost sight of that goal. It took me more than a decade, but I finally reached that goal. And even though I am currently making as much money for being a graphic designer as I am for being a writer, wordcraft has always been central in my heart, and always will.
I'm a little nervous about posting my best writings on line, as I care more about my stories than I do my drawings. But pretty much every story or poem I have written on the topic of transformations may be found in this area of the Menagerie. Fiction and non-fiction, poetry and prose… entrapping an idea within a prison of ink may keep it from escaping, but not even words are immune to the mutability of change.
