| Introduction | Ari Collins writes 55-word stories, short shorts, and occasionally just blogs some random thoughts. He’s been planning to write a serial novel for forever, but chances are he’ll never have the drive to do it. Besides Nanofic.com, he runs Air Theremin, a group blog of artists artisting art together, and keeps a list of dirty portmanteau at Pornmanteau - The Word Combo Dicktionary.
Ari is 30 and somehow ended up in NJ, where he does balloon sculpting and tries to finish that elusive English degree. After that, maybe a Ph.D. in Horribleness is next. He’s also extremely short. Ari Collins is not his real name. He also goes by screen names like “Abbreviated Man” and “Better Hodgkins” (currently his favorite IM screen name if you wanna chat). He used to go by Carl Jeffries, and before that he went by his given name, which won’t be given. I’m Ari Collins, and I approved this message. |
