I am very fortunate to have recently been given the opportunity to write about music. A new online publication called Art and Sol is where my weekly column appears like magic. The focus of the column is an exploration of classical music, chamber music, and opera. The eighth column was just submitted today, and up to this point they have all been written using information already crammed somewhere in my head. It will be interesting to see how long this trend can sustain itself.

The blank page is something I truly love. A canvas waiting to be filled with words and ideas. Each of the eight columns have been written by hand with a fountain pen. This seems to add to the creative process. Once the handwritten version is done, the typing of the final copy is merely a detail. From nothing to something is always exciting and I look forward each week to forming an idea and scribbling it down in black ink. A simple pleasure without a doubt.
