Welcome to my space.

My name is Carla and this is my creative playground. I’m practicing the art and craft of writing, firing up my inner well of creativity, and burning through perfectionism.

I also throw in a few collages and photography because those are other art forms I enjoy.

You can discover more about the beginnings of my creative journey in this post .

I welcome constructive, loving feedback. Also let me know what topics you’re curious about. I’m always looking for ideas to write, talk, potentially podcast about. And let’s collaborate!

People who have raised me, shamed me, made love with me, ghosted, fired or admired me: beware, you might show up in my writing. Yes, it will be awkward, but never without heart. Besides, it’s just art.

Thank you to the creative friends in my life and mentors from afar: Natalie Goldberg, Elizabeth Gilbert, Cheryl Strayed, Forrest Kinney and Jonathan H. Lee. You inspire and encourage me to enjoy exploring, go for my dreams, let it be easy, and write like a motherfucker!
