Writing
What we write is recorded into history, providing us a connection to the past to inspire readers forever. Every word I compose is taken into special consideration to give that piece the style and life that it deserves.

As there are many different forms of writing, my style is based in a journalistic approach by presenting the facts backed up by careful analysis. Depending upon the subject I am writing about, elements of the style change to give the story a unique personality that will continuously entice any reader.
