The nice folks at Stymie Magazine (who recently nominated my story "The Woman Who Skied on the Rooftops of Houses" for both a Pushcart and a storySouth Million Writers Award) posted this interview with me the other day:
I like the circus thing idea... just saying, even if you don't ask. And the town thingy too. The memoir kind of scares me. I can't handle my imagination.
i'm not sure about this therapist stuff... my doctor just labeled me an existentialist... and i said so, what does it really matter what you label me... not really, i just smiled. it's really weird because his name is brian and he told me to call him brian. so we sit and call each other brian. sitting down and calling my name as i talk... it's really weird... no it isnt... yes it is... i'm gonna draw more pictures now. oh... and i'm still thinking about that toothpick thing and the eye. curiosity blinded the cat... i'm not sure what all this means. but i like the circus thing more now.
i smile a lot at my therapist. she seems like a nice lady. it's pretty easy to make her laugh, though... doesn't give much of a sense of accomplishment.
brian smiles a lot too... not this brian but the dr brian. he takes a lot of notes too. but he doesn't talk much. we look at our shoes a lot. i think i'm getting better. i want new shoes. that's an improvement.
