The Dreamscape Universe of An Aspiring Scribe

"One describes a tale best by telling the tale. You see? The way one describes a story, to oneself or to the world, is by telling the story. It is a balancing act and it is a dream. The more accurate the map, the more it resembles the territory. The most accurate map possible would be the territory, and thus would be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless. The tale is the map that is the territory." --Neil Gaiman, 'American Gods'

I'm a 21-year-old college student with dreams of being a professional writer. As you can tell from this blog, I certainly have the ego for it!

Welcome To My Screwed-Up Corner of The Universe. Enjoy Your Stay!

Hello,

My name's Steven and I will be your pilot for today, next week, and most of this decade. You are travelling on Tortured Soul Airlines (TSA for short) towards various insane destinations. I am sorry to report that we have had a number of cutbacks recently, so please take note of the following: the lack of air-sickness bags in the seat in front of you--you will not see a single one during the flight; and don't bother looking for the emergency exits, because they aren't there either; if the air pressure at your computer desk drops below a certain level, you're on your own. Once again, I apologise for the inconvenience. If you would please raise your keyboards to the upright position and fasten your seatbelts, we'll be taking off...NOW!

OK, on a slightly more serious level: this is a completely new experience for me. I post in an internet discussion forum on a fairly regular basis, but having my own quasi-private corner of the web is something altogether different. I don't know how regularly I'll be able to post on here, especially during the next couple of weeks. But hey, what does a term paper AND an oral presentation matter? We have to have priorities, right?;)

Hopefully, I'll be able to give you a clearer picture of me in time to come. It isn't all craziness and weird crap, I assure you. Well, most of it is, but not ALL. For right now, I've taken the leap.

Now all I have to do is learn to fly.

Be seeing you,
Steven
