I've only ever had three things on my bucket list. Number three is write my own library.

Writing, for me, is far more than simply crafting stories and sharing information. It's about exorcising my thoughts and ideas and demons onto the page so I don't have to carry them around in my head. It's about documenting where my mind was at the time so I'll never forget who I was and what I was like. Each book I've written is representative of a piece or a part of my life. Like photo albums, only with words.

A blank page is like a blank world, waiting to be filled with life. Authors aren't so much writers as they as they are engineers, and what you'll find in my library are the worlds I've engineered so far. A library is never finished so long as there are books being written.

I am what I know. I am how I interpret the world I see. I am the sum of all the information in my brain.

I am: my library.
