In this project, I mix fact and fiction to comment on and relay my own life by posting prose and poetry. As a writer and performing artist, I make up story-lines based on what I get exposed to, and leave the context to my readers’ imagination -I think it’s fascinating to realize that sometimes people’s lives are parallel, sometimes they are perpendicular, and sometimes they just simply intersect at one random point. Furthermore, much of what I write here is essentially brainstorming for the novel I am currently working on. Consider them thought doodles. Consequently, your reaction and feedback can influence whether a particular piece will be included, if that was the intended purpose.
