Spacious DC

Well, just because I haven't been writing here doesn't mean I haven't been writing at all? To some extent. 

My friend Cary has given me a reason to write about fun. Not the band. The lifestyle. The writing I’ve done for Cary’s organization (SPACIOUS) has uncovered a theme that I… well, apparently I like working with people. I guess this is a little surprising because I tend to think of myself as such a misanthropist. Good thing that’s not all I am! 

To read about how I think people are… fun, g'head:

I returned to Washington, DC recently after two weeks at home in California with dozens of memories of carefree fun spent with family and friends. Several lingering favorites took place in San Diego with Nicole Meyers, my former college roommate and chum of 12 years.

My first experience writing with friends was at Biola University, where I was studying fiction and screenwriting. The more my classmates and I discussed our characters and storyboards, the more three-dimensional and cohesive they became. I never knew how green I was (and how much potential I had to become better) until that semester of coffee chats and classroom clashes with Mallie, Amber, Adam, and our other collaborators. And the most important skill we developed together was the ability to sacrifice our vanity as writers for the chance to improve... (Tinkerbell and Collaboration)
