STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

I grew up among books, questions, and games. In

many ways, an idyllic childhood. Or what some may simply call a
childhood. Over the years, those passions remained, and
surprisingly, so did the sense of wonder. But it was a different
sense of wonder. One that a child cannot be bothered with,
because it comes with knowing things that they have not been
taught yet.
So, here I am, with an unrelenting curiosity to
explore language and the creativity that is inherent in
neologisms, puns, metaphors, similes, wordplay, witticisms,
conceptual blending, childrens delightful goo-goo versions, et
al. Maybe explore is not the exact word for it. Play is closer to it.
Who can describe in one word the bottling up of a childs
delight? Oh, also, I am very interested in all those instances
when language fails charmingly, like a lovable fallen hero in the
classics. It also moves me considerably, what stories can do to
us. And what we can do to stories.
That is, in essence, what I am looking for-the
charms, the beauty and the magic of playing with language and
stories, through different mediums and in different forms; and
being mesmerized by the deceptively simple pleasures of trying
to find ones voice and to communicate. To see children teach us
while they learn in a world that could do with unlearning some
of its lessons. Therefore, any opportunity which utilizes my
writing, storytelling and communication skills along with my
ability to play with language would be welcome.
