About me
If you were to throw up your hands in exasperation and yell "it's the story of my life," what would you be talking about?
A mosaic -- a collection of a dozen, a hundred, a million tiny pieces; fragments from objects which once constituted beauty, now broken, shattered, found, renewed; carefully pieced together in hopes of creating a masterpiece, but if you look closely enough, you will see my cracks.
Besides SMITH, I read stories at:
devoZine, the newspaper, the hallways at school; my journal, my best friend's emails, the faces of strangers.
My favorite story of all time is:
Lois Lowry's "The Giver."
Right now, I'm reading:
"Lies Women Believe," Nancy Leigh DeMoss
"Do Hard Things," Alex & Brett Harris
"House of Leaves," Mark Danielewski
"Acting Out Culture," James S. Miller
