I write for fun, edification and self-expression, but not (given the prevailing business model for writing as a profession) for the money. That said, i did make a modest living as a writer for a few years, and have a binder full of print publication credits from the Vancouver Sun, Pacific Yachting, Sea Kayaker, a smattering of anthologies and miscellaneous other pubs.
Here’s a small sample of some of my published or performed writing:
Poetry
- The CAWnfrontation
- small town love
- Zen chicks (from 2005 chapbook Verse & Perverse)
Short fiction
- Kamp IroniK – wilderness satire, from Jan. 2007 issue of Tofino Time magazine
Magazine
- Tofino Abstract (a short, free-form piece on the Tofino Time site)
Essays
- Tough Love — cowritten with former Tofitian Helen Clay, an epistolary email exchange on the insuperable difficulties of dating in Tuff City. (Shorter version appeared in Feb. 2010 Tofino Time magazine.)
- The Ups & Downs of Sexual Etiquette — a tongue-in-cheek reflection on bathroom habits
