| Introduction | I just graduated from Whittier College with my BA. I love traveling but that's not helping me earn money. One day, I hope to move to Berlin (forever?) and form a commune to drink absinthe with whilst doing something clever and hopefully somewhat lucrative, at least surviving, maybe even succeeding. I am interested in writing stories, but I'm not very interested in being a writer, per se. One should rather be a rock star. Per se. It's sort of complicated and probably very pretentious. Those who produce stories shouldn't own them. Read Beckett for awhile, think it over, and we'll talk. |
