I Don't Think Anyone Would Want To

I Wanted To Be A Poet. I Had A Really Romantic Idea About What That Would Mean. My Parents Knew Some Poets, And I Liked How They Dressed And Acted, But I Didn't Really Acknowledge That I Only Liked Reading Some Bits Of Poetry While I Was Peeing Or Something.

I Thought About Starting A Novella Club Because It Seemed Less Ambitious.

My Parents Were Very Supportive When I Was Growing Up And Have Been All The Way Through.

I Think What People Really Hate Is To Be Caught By Surprise By Criticism.
