Jenise Cook | Creative
My Story
Thank you for visiting my creative site, where I focus on writing in several fiction genres, poems (haiku and free verse), and creative nonfiction. I also focus on photography (pun intended), and making things as a “creative maker”.
Note: For my freelance business writing and copy-editing services, visit www.RidgeViewMedia.com
I’m a storyteller through words and images. I enjoy: Fiction writing (mostly flash fiction and short stories until I move into serials and novels, and Crime is my favorite genre); and Photography (assistant to my husband’s fine art photography business).
All of these creative ventures come along with me as a mobile consultant and creator. We travel in our RV or stay at others’ lodging, wherever work assignments or whimsy guide us. We enjoy creative time when we’re moored in our home harbor in northern Arizona, near Sedona.
If you feel so led or guided, you can encourage me on my creative journey by visiting my tip jar page.
My first goal is to have enough savings to purchase ten (10) ISBNs and self publish my first book as an independent author who owns her intellectual property.

I am active on Scribophile (members-only critique site; Basic and Premium available), my go-to place to “workshop” my works-in-progress (WIPs). If you’re a member, search on my first and last name to find me.

I participate whenever I can in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month every November) as well as their twice-a-year Camps. To invite me to your NaNoWriMo Buddy List, just search on my name the next time you’re logged in to that site. I’ll look for your invitation every November, April, and July.
Photographer
My husband, Mark Bently Crabbe, is an exceptionally talented fine artist (water media) and a fine art photographer [ visit his gallery ]. For fun, we often walk out the door with our cameras, and I have a small gallery of free images on Pixabay.com. He encourages me to “get serious” as I have “a good eye” (his words). I’m taking professional photography courses, and I’m also his Associate Photographer (and business manager) for his fine art business. We’re a great team!
