    I am usually inappropriate, but in an admirable way. I am a photographer, teacher, and writer living in Toronto, Canada. I really love my cats, Star Trek, and my husband. Also dancing, monochromatic colour schemes, traveling, shooting guns, planning for an apocalypse, YA fiction, autumn, science fiction television shows, seeing as many movies as possible, and Korean pop music. Among a billion other things.

    ASK ME SOMETHING. Or show me neat things.

    BUY MY BOOK. It's pretty okay.

  1. Why are we happy to allow the internet to respect the work but not the worker – all the workers?

    I can’t think of a single instance in my career when the process of being edited and professionally published hasn’t improved what I’ve written. I like posting to a blog, but I try not to fool myself that what I write here is writing in the same sense that my novel (professionally edited – three times), my poetry (same), or my journalism (endlessly, painfully edited) is “writing.” I may use this free space to comment on and about the professional world I work in, but I make a distinction between the two spaces.
