What do you do?
I tell stories in words and pictures, and teach others to do it too.
Why?
I like to make seemingly boring things interesting, by describing them in a new way with words, pictures, or both. It's a fun creative challenge, and creativity = freedom. Plus, I like seeing people's faces light up when they "get it".
What should we read?
A Swim In A Pond In The Rain by George Saunders - made me excited all over again about the mechanics of storytelling, particularly short stories.
