How are you creative? How am I creative? Well, let’s just say creativity and I share a cozy bond—though, like all relationships, it’s a little complicated.

Are you a good judge of character? Judging a person’s character is like reading a book with missing pages—you think you’ve got the plot, but there’s always room for a twist. Am I an expert in this? Hardly. But I can say this: my intuitions are often right. Mostly. Probably. Okay, let’s go with “most... Continue Reading →
