A few things you don’t know about this Aquarian

Despite all these outings as a writer, not just as a blogger but as a poet and novelist, too, let me confess, I …

1. Almost always feel like an outsider.
2. Struggle at small talk.
3. Look at idealized writer’s studios and realize they could have been what’s now my bedroom.
4. Can be blamed for too often having taken my romantic partner as a muse.
5. Can’t stand wet feet unless I’m swimming. Or, more frequently, showering.
6. Assume true love always involves pain.
7. Had some horrid toilet-training that lingers.
8. Love foggy mornings when I linger in bed, sipping decaf (these days) and reading.
9. Add to that listening to the rain muffled on the metal roof just overhead, perhaps while falling asleep.
10. Can’t keep up with all the reading I attempt to do, much less any of the rest I should be tackling.
