I feel like you’re wonderful at writing so many different kinds of things that surely you’ve added children’s books to your repertoire?
This was great, gave me a smile 🙂

Yes, I actually have a children’s book I wrote years ago, which I still hope to publish. And recently had a book of fables, which were adaptations of classic fables, published, and they were paired with illustrations from a 1921 book. It’s called Once Upon a Time: Classic Fables Reimagined. And yea, in thinking of writing as a body of work, or leaving behind a “body” of work, well I wouldn’t want to leave behind just thumbs and a spleen, or a scrotum and an earlobe, try to be as full-bodied as possible, dig 😉

I think I’d love to live in your life with a spare room in your mind, not as you but as me watching you. Probably all the entertainment and fulfillment I’d need.

That qualifies as one of the coolest and most interesting compliments I’ve ever been paid 😉 And, right now, I do think there’s a vacancy in my mind, except it’s not in the best neighborhood, and it’s nowhere near the ocean, but I could possibly Air B & B rent out a room in the seaside part of my mind 🙂

I love seedy neighborhoods and I could possibly adjust to a distant view of the ocean.
Done. I’m on my way.

Well, whenever I’ve brought “just me” that’s where the most clutterfuck is 🙂 Lucky for you, my head is large enough to accommodate both of us.
