As is the case
every year, I like to think of myself as
Doctor Who, i.e. someone who regenerates, and I like to do a little self-portrait detailing what I've been up to. Between the ages of
thirty-seven and thirty-eight, I've been fighting my discomfort, leading me to defy my asthma and run 5 and 10Ks, and to defy my ego by submitting my creative pursuits to publishers, magazines, and more, only to see them rejected. But I keep trying.
