Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
Well, I grew up in the country. I feel where you grow up has a serious effect on anyone's personality. I love nature, but I feel my imagination takes me many places. So where I live, is a small piece of the puzzle in my origin in writing, honestly.

There are so many people that identify themselves as eccentrics nowadays. I'm just taking it a step further. Creating my own personal # for all of my work: I embrace the eccentricity within everyday things; through my writing, and photography. The # #The_Eccentrics is an archive of my work. Anyone who identifies themself as an eccentric will see the thread on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Tumblr. It's a great way to reach out and connect with like-minded individuals online.
