bob reeder.

is truly my mentor, confidant and friend. i HAVE a structure. I CAN WRITE AGAIN. i asked for twenty minutes of emergency thesis counselling. he was extremely busy himself and yet he made me sit down with a piece of paper and helped me mapped my thoughts and discuss some thoughts and generally was so encouraging that i left an hour and a half later, with the most hampering concerns plucked away, and knowing how to go about writing.

he also gave me the courage, temporary perhaps but maybe enough for the time being - to disregard everyone else's expectations, and to write what i want to write. yen had been telling me the same thing just yesterday, to write for myself. and i know that is true but it's hard to - dare.

i need to acknowledge a huge debt to him. a small shrine seems about right.
