Bio
Why is it easier to pen a 5-pg. story than a 240 character bio? Maybe it’s reflective of my new writer status (though I do draft memos & such as a PM at work). Gotta work on that. Oh yeah, and on this.

Part I I was seventeen when I learned that my aunt Janice had won $20,000 on a scratch-off. It was after school and I was glued to the t.v. watching soaps. The phone rang but I was splayed on the floor with a bowl of cereal and didn’t feel like getting up. My mother answered in the next room. “Oh, hi Jan.” I turned my attention back to the show. A bellow broke the lull—“You’re kidding!” and in quick succession, “How much?” and “My Lord!” I bolted upright. I went to the doorway and tried to make eye contact but was shooed away.
