When security finally did open the man looked around embarrassed. He looked like he forgot to shave and didn't put deodorant on that day.
"Mmm sorry, miss," he said. "Do you mind just pretending to go through security? We didn't actually... We don't actually have the equipment working yet."

What is dirty?
Many things I grew up being taught turned out to be backwards. Like the fear of dirt my mom instilled in me. I never actually feared dirt like I did monsters in the dark, but her binary way of treating dirt as something filthy like feces meant that I categorized...

Fear of change
A common pitfall in
storytelling
is not choosing to tell a story that leaves the character changed forever. I was sitting outside feeling summer breeze under a tree when this thought came to me:
We fear changing our characters forever because we fear it in our own lives. We want to...

Dreams of Flesh
Jeannie was talented. And incredibly beautiful. When such beauty is paired with even a modicum of talent the halo effect swindles you into hyperbolizing all non tangible assets about them. But no matter how much of that fallacy I was victim to, from an objective stance

What makes a legend?
Tim Subiaco
will always be a legend to me. He was one of the rare members who wrote fiction everyday. Almost all the other people couldn't manage it. They either were like me and got stuck by the allure of writing the more easy nonfiction or they just stopped showing...

writing a novella in public and being blown away. I'd never seen such a thing happening in public before and never had considered the possibility. Writing until then I'd always considered a...

Killing an afternoon
It was after dropping off Sal for his afternoon Chemistry class that she had a day to spare. Just a few hours more honestly, but hours in the afternoon seemed to stretch on for her these days. Mornings and evenings would fly by but the liminal space of sunny, summer...

How to tell if you're a player, like John Zabka
I never was jealous of an artist making it. Initially I saw this as a sign that I was a true artist. Now I think the opposite.
A true artist hates to see another artist gain recognition while they remain in the shadows. My complacency with remaining in the...

The dream of becoming a 9-5 artist, revisited after meeting with John Zabka
There had been a time when I was throwing back cups of stale coffee at the diner thinking that I would one day become an artist. I mean I had already thought I was one but I what I was imagining was one day being somebody who got paid a...

Proud
as reply to Early Days...
After years of bickering about the lameness of employment and exalting the virtues of entrepreneurship and infinite leverage, I'm proud to learn that Seun has begun a job as Product Manager.
