About Me

I just moved to Providence, Rhode Island after living in Paris for about a year and a half. I still have another year left of university to finish up. I'll find a school in R.I., but I'm not in a huge rush. I just want to work on my novel and set up shop here for the time being...Anyway, about me: I'm usually the guilty party and it's part of my charm. I balance precariously between extremes-- I've yet to locate that elusive middle ground I've heard so much about. I'm a writer because I don't know how else to hold on to time. I write because I need to solidify these fleeting moments--I want to capture them exactly as they were with the precision, finality, and irrefutability of a photograph.
