After class yesterday I got stopped by a guy who'd been in the same tute as me. "Hey, you're the writer, right?" Just like that. During the class we'd done an introduction exercise where we had to list five things about ourselves, with one being a lie. Then the lists were passed around in the class and the people who had them had to ask which was the lie. I had stuff about my writing and my acting in there and this dude had been paying attention.
His name was Numan. When I told him it was a cool name he laughed. I'm not sure why. He asked about my writing so I told him about the tiny epics thing I'd been published in, and how that'd come about. During the conversation I mentioned I'm not a writer anymore because there's no money to be made in it and he told me he'd heard the same thing about computing. He looks Indonesian and he's got an American accent.
Anyway, he told me he knows this girl who's trying to be an author and he's interested in starting a publication and he wants a real author to be in it or something. I dunno. He wants to look at what I've done and see if it's any good. I told him I'd email it to him. I think I might just give him a copy of Tiny Epics next time I see him.
