Whatever this is, we're all in it together.

About Me

I'm in transition. It takes a while. So that's the dominant thing in my life right now: transitioning. I recently moved and I'm going back to grad school in the fall. Career shift; moderately scary. In the meantime I'm writing fiction. Perhaps I will publish some of it. Perhaps not. Perhaps I will be driven mad by waiting and become a hard drinking card dealer in a sleazy casino in New Jersey. Who can say. Right now I write and dance, and dance and write, and I wander around New York and look at art. It's not a bad way to live.
