    i wish i could. i’m an oral storyteller. i’ve tried to get into the written word and die around 50 pages every time. nah, my legacy will be my music.

    i can recommend good authors (i love Jasper Fforde) if you need a good enjoyable read to lift your heart but my efforts, uh, i struggle.

      Ever thought about doing short stories? I think they’d suit you. Especially a macabre horror comedy. No pressure though, just figured I’d suggest it if you’re interested :)

        I think i fall into Douglas Adams’ trap. I can write a scene but I don’t have a good plot in me. Collaborative efforts help, like that one time my friends and I wrote a screenplay about 80s hair metal vampires (we were mad at twilight. it will never get made because it hinged on David Bowie being alive. vampires don’t sparkle they get GUITARS)
