I write because I have too many thoughts to say out loud. Ha! Well don't we all? We all have a way of thinking and then a way of speaking. So one of the things I try to achieve in my writing is a degree of synergy between the two. And between my reader and I: between you and I. When I can get to that place I know I'm on the right track.
I'm an outgoing kind of person who has a million and one stories. I've been there and back and provoked more than my share of interesting situations, so I've got a lot to draw from.
If I'm not writing, I'm in the gym or with friends or family. These are the staples of my existence outside of the classically radical stories that have shaped my journey here.
Writing at Trend Hunter is the newest canvas for my great stories: except here I'm telling stories about the products, ideas, tendencies, opinions and challenges that define next. Check them out...
What is unique that's not in your bio?
I have ONE tattoo and it's a design that reads 5&5. This is a philosophy conceptualized by a close friend of mine and helped along by me. It's a philosophy that helps ground us and reminds us of the people around us who matter. The first 5 represents "blood." The idea is that your family is inherently worthy of your worry and energy. The second 5 represents your closest circle of great friends. 5 is simply a symbolic number that conveys the idea this group should be small. it is very difficult to think about having more than 5 relationships that you can put everything into. Some may only have 1 or 2 great friends. But the idea is you probably don't have MORE than five.
Once you start thinking about your 5&5, you can use those people to lean on when drama or difficulty comes from outside those 5s. You can turn to those people and know in your heart that they are who you should think about and worry about and also, they are thinking and worrying about you.
What's your favorite accomplishment?
I have a poem published in the same book as my mother.
How do you define cool?
Cool is an advanced perspective. It's being able to see something happen or happening and immediately thinking of it's implications and applications.
What do you enjoy most about Trend Hunter?
The variety of content is hard to find anywhere else on the net. You can come to Trend Hunter and stumble upon the greatest idea you never saw coming.
What are your tips for writing a juicy post?
Write in your voice. Think conversational. Think casual. Don't think too much. Think "If I'm hearing someone read this without looking at the page does it tell me what I need to know?"
How do you reset to be creative?
I crack my knuckles, go for a walk to the bathroom, get some food, listen to music.
