    How to Write a Strong Female Character

    How do you create a strong female character? Make sure you learn, give her three-dimensionality, understand that strong doesn't mean only strong; strong means real. Create someone who could exist, and understand her power is not in what you make her do, but in what you make her to be.

    Short Story: A Good Guy with a Gun

    A Good Guy with a Gun is my take on gun control and the all too familiar shootings in the United States. Although inspired by real events, the story is entirely fictional. I wrote A Good Guy with a Gun because it's my way to analyze my thoughts, redirect my frustration, and share my point of view. I propose it because I hope to provoke, shock, open a discussion, and create food for thought.
