Describe a day in your life: Unpredictable.  If I’m shooting it’s early morning starts with late night finishes and no room for anything else.  At all.  If I’m writing, it’s starting as late as possible, procrastinating, “researching” and then finally when I start feeling guilty, going away to somewhere where the internet can’t find me and typing furiously and frantically into the night.
