how it all started…

this is a picture of my grandfather:

when you Google my name you get a lot of information about him…he was a jazz composer and pianist, and remains a major influence his craft…

what does any of this have to do with my writing…perhaps you can imagine…growing up with this knowledge…i never had the pleasure and priviledge of knowing the man…just the legend…

i’m proud to be his grandson…and i’m grateful for what that has brought to me…particularly his example of how a man can move through life…build a body of work…and keep his integrity intact…he is reason Number One for why i write…

    yes i finally figured out the whole picture thing…this is my happy mugshot…i’m amazed…this pic was taken almost exactly three yearts ago…during one of the most miserable periosd of my life…and it is the best picture of of me as an adult…i think the guiness helped…

    oh yeah…thank you ImageShack for helping a web twit like me get viisual on it…

    writing in the first person…to some, it’s stunt writing…the further you get from your own perspective…gender, race, class, education…the more of a stunt it becomes…for the reaqder, it’s like grading a test…theyre looking for the wrong asnsweres…i find the most chalenge in writing a character who’s close to my perspective, and then going places i might not necessarily go on my own…dark waters…to do so, you realkly have to know yourself…waht youre capable of…know the lines that have to be crossed…and tread them without fear of whats on the other side…
