Textual Play

Hi. I’m Jessica. 

I hesitate to introduce myself for fear of alienating anyone. Let’s try a bare fact: I am 40. 

Hello? Are you still here? Am I too old? Possibly too young?

Maybe you need another fact: I am a lawyer.

Oops. Stop. Come back. I shouldn’t have gone with that one. I apologize. I promise not to do lawyer stuff here.

You know what? Let’s just get the rest of them out of the way:

• I am a writer.
• I am a reader (of all kinds of things).
• I am a diarist.
• I keep a creative notebook, which kind of means
• I am an artist.

Translation: I am a person who likes to read and write and create and will be writing here about writing and reading and creating and anything else I can feasibly tie to “textual play.”
