I am a Caribbean American who loves writing stories, poetry, and essays. Writing allows me to express myself artistically and share my complex emotions, ideas, and experiences in a powerful and impactful way. When I write, I dive into personal experiences, explore what it means to be human, and paint vivid pictures of the world around me using descriptive language and other techniques. My hope is that my words will touch you and evoke deep emotions within you. I want my writings to inspire, challenge, and transform you, just like they do for me.
How often will I hear from you?
All issues will post at 1:30 pm ET.
I will post:
Regular issues of Caro’s Writing Perspectives every Saturday.
Writing prompts every third Wednesday of the month.
Updates on any work in progress (WIP) on the last day of the month.
Every April, I will publish a poem a day, and during that month, you will receive an email from me every day. My goal is to write poems daily from pompts as a participant in National Poetry Writing Month (also known as NaPoWriMo), a writing project held annually in April in which participants attempt to write a poem each day for one month.
I intend to publish Halloween-themed poetry and flash fiction twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, during October.
Where should I begin reading?
Here is a list of poems, stories, and essays I wrote that are some of my favorites.

A proud member of:
In a previous life, I worked as a skilled web designer and data analyst (creative endeavors, to be sure). Nowadays, I spend my time writing stories, poetry, and essays, tending to my beautiful garden, and creating a welcoming environment for all the critters (domesticated and wild) that call my yard home.
