Better Boring Than Sorry
I wanted to write something funny, but I didn’t want it to sound so cute that the person reading it thinks: “what the hell is this crap?” and then hits the delete button on their email program. Instead, I went with the same old generic cover letter that everyone else sends. Frankly, I’m not surprised they haven’t called back.
Maybe I should have tried the “what the hell is this carp” technique. Maybe I would have a job now. Or maybe not.
Who the What?
Hi, I’m Min. I write fiction about one-ring circuses, ghostly Schnauzers, and children who play with too much chalk.
But you won’t find those stories on this blog. Instead, you’ll find mediations on culture and society that piss people off, as well as a ton of stuff about storytelling and writing techniques.
