My smallish ego is smiling right now (I know, I know - it's just one tiny win). I received a call late yesterday that my essay will be running on the presses tonight for Friday's paper. Ahhhhhhh. I didn't get a proof, so I'm anxious to see if there are any errors (I sent it in with none, but it was reset for the press). Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
On the "interesting shit" front, my hella cool artist friend SK and I have decided it would be fun to collaborate. We're scratching our heads to put together some form of painting and prose/poetry in hopes that some non-nose thumbing small gallery looking for one (1) solid artist and one (1) renegade/feral writer will have our crazy asses. Then, the plan is to seal the deal with publishing the lot of stuff in a smallish book (on a print-on-demand deal most likely). The battle before us now is rounding out a theme and then the age-old chicken/egg question. Artwork then writing or vice versa? And being that I'm type A, this is the annoying, oh-the-hell-with-it-all question.
That being said, we've got some themes in the development stage. I'm curious, though. What theme/idea sticks out in your mind as interesting to view from the perspective of 2 mom creative-types? BRAINSTORM WITH US! First things that pop into your head. WRITE IN THE COMMENTS (please)!
