About
hmm let’s see…
former failed financial journalist. decent software developer. if i had children i’d just call myself a MOTHER, but alas, no spawned processes. soooo… as this website suggests: i am a random woman who makes stuff.
i don’t do journalism anymore. i still code bc i quite like it (it massages a specific, nameless part of my brain);
i write compulsively, meaning: i vomit hundreds of thousands of words of garbage. screenplays, short stories, etc. i wrote a failed novel a few years ago that still makes me want to tar and feather myself. well-meaning ppl like to say, Oh, you’ll return to it!!? no!!! it is salted Gomorrah.
i act sometimes. i make films. my first short, FLIRTOLOGIST (July 2024), was a corrosive cathartic exercise after the failed novel. bleach for the creative intestine, let’s say.
but with the exception of Christian/wife/sister/daughter/mother (God-willing), the idea of anchoring my identity
to one specific pursuit, be it writing, coding, or filmmaking, makes me nauseous
and bizarrely itchy. so why do anything???? .....
process and compulsion
otherwise i’m kind of a gym rat. and i go to mass. and confession. proud and practicing Roman Catholic. yikes!!! working out. writing. tinkering on the computer. these are things i just do. like gag reflexes. Because I have to. what else is there???
