    • About Me

    I know words : their influence, their shapes, how they look and work together; and separate.
    I write for a living – as a Creative Director at an Advertising Agency.
    I write for expression – as novelist and poet.
    These practices influence one another and together they account for over 60 hours a week of writing.
    I know, think, feel words and I write them down.

    Why do you write?

    Sometimes I wish I knew.

    Any favorite authors? Books?

    So rarely see Knut Hamsun on anyone's list. Placing a smiley emoticon here would put me in semiotic peril, so I'll only gesture at it by mention alone.

    Thanks for reading and for the congratulations.

    Hi Philip - It's nice to see another Pacific Northwesterner here. Looking forward to reading your work :)

    Thanks, Thierry. Yes, that one is in my queue too! Just a couple books away.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA – Mar 26, 2010

    Hey!
    Thanks for your comments.

    (I have to read Bolano's 2666)
