Submitted a new short story today about a young man who inherits a crystal ball workshop and the familial obligation contends with his own dreams which might involve a young lady. Wish me luck. I only send out a couple shorts a year.

As an alumni of the renowned observatory for the arts The Watermill Center that Robert Wilson founded, I'm absolutely devastated by his loss. I feel even more motivated to create art that breaks the mold and advocates change. He will be missed but never forgotten.
