Might apply for another grant. Got ten grand last time. I play it straight. I'm mad and poor, on disability benefits for schizoid delirium that renders me unfit for work. When I'm able, I write. My books aren't commercial and will never be best sellers. My writing is art, not popular entertainment. If I can squeeze a grant out of a wealthy charity, I will. I don't mind a hand out. I used to beg on the street. If someone's offering, I'll bite their hand off. I've stolen, robbed, and sold drugs to schoolkids, so I got no morals about getting paid. Anyhow will do. Writing don't equal getting paid to me. It's just something I do to use the images in my mind. A kind of magic. I'm a witch doctor invoking other worlds from another dimension. If I can share them with a few people and they say, "I like your stories!" well, that's cool. Other than that, I got to eat.
