Abstract:
The purpose of this project is to begin two manuscripts: one of my own work, and one of letters sent to me. The project consists of three parts. In the first part, I organize my previously written creative work, add newly written work to the collection, and submit my work to various literary journals and magazines; in the second part, I write letters to people who have influenced me and ask that they respond with a list of the works that have been most essential to them; the third part is a reading of some of the pieces from the first section.
