I’m going to write a stream of consciousness short story. Just start writing, no plan, just do it and it will work itself out. I am not a reasonable man. In 1993 I walked out of the front door of my house, jacket in my arms (it was quick, I couldn’t be seen or heard, I put it there and walked out fast and quiet as I could), my wife and child enjoying their dinner oblivious, I got in my car...

'Being "Happy"' Is Overrated! And Other Such...

reflections (ugh) on my first formal writing class
I wrote this paper for the class. It’s funny and full of self-doubt. For a long time, I’ve been bad at being a writer; at least, I’m bad at fulfilling the role of “Writer”.
