full of moxie and viscosity

And this is my life. People ask me daily if I like "here," if I'm going to stay, how I ended up here. I feel like the answers to all of those questions would take so much TIME to say.

Do I like it here?
Of course I do, I'm still here, right? But hell no, I hate it, where are my good friends and boys? And yes, it's incredible, I write all the time, it's perfect, exactly what I want. So, to answer your question, yes, no, of course, maybe.

Am I going to stay?
In what way? Emotionally? Probably not. Physically? Yes! I can't move anywhere now, I'm too set on this novel project. Mentally? Jury's out. Artistically? Definitely.

How did I end up here?
Read the novel.


Also: many, many thanks to Micah Bedrosian for his incredibly insightful and calming comments about the first 20 pages of the novel that he read. He gave me SO much to think about in a really accessible and appropriate way. He's so smart and his comments were right on. You're the Jew, Micah, you're the Jew.
