things you should know if we ever get married for your greencard 2

I write because I have stories to tell, and because I'm a picky reader and no one is writing the stories I want to read. I write for myself, for the voices in my head that have as much right to live as real people, and because if I don't write, they torment me and it starts feeling like schizophrenia.

I want to publish because I want to shop at Anthropologie and Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma and Urban Outfitters.

Yeah, I'm totally planning to be that woman. I already am, I just can't afford it.

::sigh::
