I am a writer, which doesn't mean I'm a professional writer, but it's sort of how I see myself. Despite that, I don't know that I take it seriously still, because I don't get money for writing, and we all know that money is the true measure of art.
I experience everything as fodder for a story. Sometimes that enriches the experience and sometimes it's just another filter. Like the way I see something arresting framed as a photograph. Yesterday the dishes in the drainer looked striking to me and I went dashing off for my camera. After I realized it wasn't around, I "settled" for enjoying the arrangement without recording it.
