I'm afraid of the telephone. I wouldn't place your bets on getting me on the phone. Here, you can try. I dare you: 440-332-4120.

I'm a musician, but I can't bear to have music on in the background. It makes me crazy. Either I listen to it as a full-brain activity, or I turn it off. I will listen to white noise while writing.

I'm extremely forgetful. And ADD. We're talking, ordering a pizza is a long, frightening, and painful challenge.

Yes, I often write in bed. Pajamas, too. But never naked. If Mark Twain could do it, so can I.
