I..

[butterfly]

I want to write long, complex stories that make people think and feel and want.

I write short things. I'm capable of believing that I write good short things, but they're short.

I work in the bursts and spurts of my imagination and can't find the connections between.

I want to be clever and daring.

I can be clever, but daring is harder.

I want to change the way that people think about the world.

I want to write something that makes someone grin and say, "That's just how it is."

I want to explore the deep, dark depths of the human soul and come out scarred but wiser.

I want everyone to believe in the basic goodness of the world.

I want to see the world through everyone else's eyes for a day.

I want to dance on the edge of a precipice and never worry about falling off.

I want to sing a song so beautiful and pure that it makes the demons weep for forgiveness.

I want to be rich and famous and change the world.

I fall and climb again, and always think that I should be able to keep myself from falling.

I want to have intense sex with someone that I've just met.

I want to fall in love and never stop falling.

I want everything to be easy.

I want to learn and grow and challenge myself.
