Three things I’d like to accomplish by the time we make it to all the end-of-the-lines:
1. To complete my Master of Fine Arts degree in Writing — done! January 2014, Vermont College of Fine Arts. Who knew that it would take longer to finish riding the subway system than getting my MFA?
2. Publish my Young Adult Novel — done! Aftercare Instructions comes out in 2017 with Flatiron Books. I’m over the moon! And still riding the rails…
3. To perfect my pop, lock, and drop – still working on that one.

Bones, you know that if you had dinner with Ru you’d only dine on Tic Tacs, right? Fuck it. I’m in too
And if I ate with Morrissey I wouldn’t eat meat! Fuck it!
