You're about to read a collection of sporadic thoughts. Because of the wide variations in mode, length, tone, and subject, you'll probably feel like you're on a roller coaster, with the muscles in your neck locking up on one side, and then the other, as you go back and forth, up and down, never quite fully anticipating the next jolt.

You're about to read a collection of sporadic thoughts. Because of the wide variations in mode, length, tone, and subject, you'll probably feel like you're on a roller coaster, with the muscles in your neck locking up on one side, and then the other, as you go back and forth, up and down, never quite fully anticipating the next jolt. Some are sad. Some are mysterious. Some are funny. And some are serious. One is 8 words long, and one is 8400 words long. The topics range from stealing bikes and filling teeth, to losing girlfriends and losing lives. And I've aimed to be brutally honest. Hopefully that catches you off guard. The Venn diagram, for all of this, overlaps on just one point--a writer's mind. This book represents several years' worth of writing, from the dark days of my undergrad to the completion of my master's degree, ending in 2013 when I published my fourth book. The genre ranges from nonfiction (the lion's share), to poetry and pictures, then fiction, and even faction (just you wait). I hope you'll be surprised by the wild turns. I also hope it will inspire your own writing (or, as the case may be, that it will spark your writing). And I hope, most of all, you'll be glad you read.
