“Who are we, when no one is looking? Who are we, without what once both held us back and held us up? Whom do we wish to be?” For @nytopinion, I wrote about transition in the pandemic. Because every one of us will re-enter the world changed by this time. nytimes.com/2021/04/02/opini…

Brooklyn, 1993. Shot-gunning blunts behind the PS 321equipment shed. Hooking up with the neighborhood boys. Street fights, handball, graffiti & loosey cigs. Also: a major scandal that will unravel everyone. THE UNREQUITED. #PitMad

I tend to live in my head, so I wrote most of #TheFactofaBody w a reminder in front of me: "Write what the camera sees." I have dreamed of this news for a long time. I am BEYOND THRILLED that I'll get to see what brilliance @PublicRecordTV Jeremiah Zagar makes out of this story.

@ChipCheek a new french review of Cape May on Babelio : "C'est l'histoire d'une lune de miel, et c'est aussi une histoire d'amour qui va exploser avant d'avoir pris racines. Effie et Henry, jeunes mariés candides, pétris d'illusions sur ce que semble l... babelio.com/livres/Cheek-Cap…
