Bio
I'm not a writer. I joined because I have a son that has the most incredible mind for storytelling, but he is afraid of writing. I want to give his stories a voice and a stage. I wish I was a writer so that I could do his stories justice.

The Journal of Morrison James
I found it. Well, that’s what I call it when I take things. After years of having my head shrunk, I understood growing up on the cusp of poverty makes you want to hoard things. It makes you turn every little precious thing into a plug for that hole in your heart. So, when I was a teenager, I got hooked on the “five-finger-discount,” as my friend Ben called it. I liked the rush. As I got older, I honed it, part entertainment, part therapy. There is a strange honor in doing it well. I only mark the most deserving people; That guy, the one who spends too much time on his hair, or that woman who spends more money on her nails than she does on her kids. It never felt fair to be the smartest person, the most talented, and yet I could never catch a break. I see all of these gray people passing me with better cars, better houses, stumbling into perfect lives. I know life isn’t fair, but somehow taking a little piece back was all I needed to set the numbers straight.
