I'm a big emotional mess. I try to talk about things that people don't like to talk about, especially in music. Hopefully it reaches someone and lets them access their vulnerability. That's what I want it to accomplish.

I talk about any number of things on my Facebook space. Politics. Current events. The writing life. The latest tempests in a teapot centering on fandom. Daily doings from my own life. My cats, for crying out loud. Flights of humorous fantasy. Books, both those I've read and those I've written. Movies. And occasionally, TV shows.

The more I talk about things, the more I understand myself.

I'm really out of touch with myself emotionally. I've always had a hard time talking about how I feel.

I'm just not very comfortable talking about my emotions on a normal, day-to-day basis.

Everything I write about either I have gone through or I know somebody has gone through, so it's very close to me, but sometimes it's about taking those feelings and exaggerating on them a little bit: being a bit more dramatic but still keeping them relatable.

You have so much to share, you have so much to tell, you have so much you want to expose, so much that's inside that you've learned from that life period. There are really very few people I can share that with.

I speak to people who have been through so much more.

I write about the things I feel strongly about.

Everything I've experienced, things that my friends have experienced and we talk about, things that are on the news - all aspects of life are in my message.
