    Yesterday, I gifted myself with a membership to the Art Institute of Chicago, one of my most favorite places in the world.

  • Every so often, I have a dream so vivid and inspired that it needs to be remembered for use in a story one day. It would be a shame, after all, to let those plots go to waste. I’m notoriously bad at forgetting what I dreamed about an hour or so after I wake up,…
