The Power of Social Media
In the summer of 2005 I started a small record label called Everafter Music. I was the sole employee and the sole client. By the same time in 2006, I was moving to Lubbock, TX, to finish school at Texas Tech University. Essentially, the company hadn't taken off in that year and I was closing up shop.

Chicken and Rosemary Meatballs with Sautéed Tomatoes and Spinach
These chicken meatballs are something I've been thinking about this one for a while, but have only recently gotten around to making it. I wanted to try something different with meatballs besides beef and veal. I haven't tried it yet, but I would imagine this would go great with lamb in place of the chicken. I'm a big fan of the lamb and rosemary flavor profile. No matter which protein you use, you're welcome to experiment with recipe, these meatballs will go great with a pasta dish!

My Top 7 Books About Writing
I grew up learning how to write in grade school and high school. But the way they taught us to write, didn’t make any sense to me. We were taught to write relying on The Gospel According to the MLA Handbook. This was the way to write research papers and the way our college professors would want us to write papers. It wasn’t until I got to college until I learned just how wrong those words were.

Farewell, Dorothy
Back in college when I was a creative writing student, I took a creative non-fiction workshop. I can’t remember the prompt or the assignment, but wrote one of my favorite pieces in that class. I’ve picked it up a few times over the years to reread and reedit. It’s about saying goodbye to grandmother. It was me saying goodbye twenty years later and when I wrote it I realized I was too young to understand when she passed. I am fortunate to have known her for a short time. And I am fortunate to have the biscuit cutter.

Good to See You Again
Recently, I came across a hard drive from college. I found some of the pieces I had for creative writing workshops, thinking maybe it would nice to share it with the world. This is the only piece that seemed worth the light of day, a short story I wrote in my first year as a creative writing student
