I don’t know these buildings, I think I’m lost
I don’t have to make the 35 mile drive into work for the next 11 days. I’m so happy about this, I could scream. I’ve been looking forward to this stretch since October since this is the first time I … Continue reading
When we look at the world, we are hallucinating all the time
I’ve got burnout. I was hoping the mania induced by VP and WFC would carry me through to the end of the year, but the hyper-productivity that persisted through the end of NaNo has failed me, and until a few … Continue reading
Serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon

Wash.

Why I Write – Part 1: A Thought Experiment
