Hello, blank page.
You have so much potential.
Whatdoyouwantobewhenyougrowup?
I want to be a farmer dog whisperer tree planter yogi pilot detective mom cake decorator hot air balloon owner circus performer chimpanzee trainer author illustrator peter pan saint.
What do you really want to be?
A Taoist. Though I don't know very much about it. I just read an abridged guide to it, but it sounds cool.
Build me a library like the one the Beast built for Belle. I'll be my own personal librarian.
Find me an agent, I'll write for a living.
What do you mean, I'm not good enough?
Well. Prestige is overrated anyway. Maybe I'll be a hermit. Maybe I'll write, become famous and then go mad and hate people, like Tennessee Williams. Except that I can't write like him.
Anyone can have their own TV show, lawn exhibition and blog these days. Even me.
I realise that "even me" is incorrect grammar. I love and hate grammar. I love its order and hate its fascism.
I like that Urdu is arranged subject-object-verb. It forces you to hear the whole sentence. I like writing in this room. I in this room writing like.
Hello, blank page, trying to decide what to be.
Just like me.
