#WriteStuff A6: I’d like to paint more and I already do some improv

#WriteStuff A5: anything that feels appropriate for the world or time period I’m writing in

#WriteStuff A4: I do a fair amount of business/technical adjacent writing in my day job

#WriteStuff A3: I don’t really use particular people in fiction directly. There might be a trace here and there

#WriteStuff A1: probably life guarding at a country club or a law clerk job I had in college bc they were mostly chill jobs and all the adult jobs I’ve had have not been chill 😅
