Derek’s vandalism of words and music!
I am not sure what I am or do. Sometimes writing fiction novels, satirical essays, bad poetry, recording music, giving away mp3 downloads, groveling to publishers and book stores, writing blogs, trying to sell my books on Amazon and sleeping a lot in the afternoon. This is after sleeping until 11am in the morning and drinking lots of coffee. Closely followed by proof reading, editing and panicking over grammar conundrums. Then a quick check of my CD and book sales, and a cry. Then beer!
