Postcard

The world before us is a postcard, and I imagine the story we are writing on it.

My brother is a playwright. I am an academic writer. We both write about the stories around us. We both thrive on creativity. We share our work with each other. We offer feedback. We accept feedback. We both have fire alarm pull stations by our desks for those moments when we are writing and we find that we are just ON FIRE with our writing.

Most of that is true.
