Things that interest me: -How expensive movies are too make and how many people it takes to make one. -How going to the doctor, even when the news is bad, can make you feel smart and important. -Chronology vs Memory -How sentence structure can pressure you to say things you don't mean.

Why do you write? I'm in an argument with myself. Several arguments. About what is beautiful, how we are free and how we are constrained, how are we collective and how are we individual... Are there any shoulds in art? What are they? Are there any shouldn'ts.

I just got an acceptance from a very nice journal, in just under 3 hours! Doesn't that just put the wind in my sails!
