Okay that sounds cool. :)
Oh... let me see. I write poetry. I wrote a book of poetry. I have a webcast and a podcast. I make music. I've made 3 short films. I wrote a novel. I run a website of my own work. I have a couple blogs one on livejournal, one on myspace, one about NervousMan. I guess I do quite a lot come to think of it.
About NervousMan. NervousMan is a fictional character I came up with. And what he does is he walks around town being nervous. I mean, really really nervous. He doesn't really interact with too many people for very long cuz that makes him too nervous. But he thinks quite a bit about what he observes and he thinks about his own thoughts a lot.
A lot of great literary characters, I've noticed, have great motivations. Nietzche's madman wanted to find God, Captain Ahab wanted to kill the great white whale. But NervousMan has very small desires in life. He usually just wants a pastrami sandwich.
When I started writing, I would mostly write about myself, my thoughts my feelings, my observations and things that happened to me. You know, journal type stuff.
After many years of that, I came to notice not too many people were interested in that stuff. It's like who am I?
So then, I started writing about NervousMan and came to find that a common reaction to what NervousMan was going through was "How in the world did you know what goes on in my head?" People would identify with him. And I thought that was neat.
And so that reaction intrigued me, just that perceptual shift caused people to be interested. And I found I could play with NervousMan and have him walk around his world and do anything I wanted and people would find it interesting and moving.
I think that in the future I will write more nervousman stories.
