the rare personal post
Where am I now.
I guess I haven't escaped a career after all.
I just finished Jeffrey Brown's new book.
I feel kind of melancholy.
I started off all happy to have a new book to read, a cold fall night, a hot cup of tea.
Now I wonder why I'm thirty three and I am still working dumb meaningless jobs and writing and hoping that someone's reading it.
I'll go off and do another stunt soon to get more attention to my writing.
It feels cheap.
Like I should just be able to throw the writing out there and it will gain an audience rapidly cuz of course it's so damn good. yeah. Ha ha.
Oh well.
I keep writing. Something's gotta happen sometime.
The longer you do something the better you get at it. usually.

Thats what I feel like, tho I am only 23. I still have no idea what I want to do when 'I Get Big'. I do know that its not what I do now.
I've been at this job almost 2 years and everyday I am looking for a new one.

Thanks guys. Sorry about the whining. If you click my profile I wrote some poems this morning and put them up on my poetry blog. I feel much better.
Thanks for your kind comments.
I should have mentioned also, the new Jeffrey Brown is VERY GOOD.
I'm reviewing it for the News and Review.
