he says your name out loud, in miniature rooms where no one's found; it's a desperate sound. you're on the distant shore! and he wants to tell you stories, stories of boys who stomped their feet, saying, "shut, shut up—I am dreaming of places where lovers have wings."

Anonymous: How do you stay organized?

this is sort of ridiculous, but, personally - at any given time, I have at least three to-do lists and datebooks running (phone, laptop, planner, calendar, iCal, Evernote, class syllabuses, random scraps of notebook paper, the backs of receipts) and I’m always cross-referencing them to make sure I meet the deadlines for things. I have the homework & reading schedule for all my classes printed out on my wall, a full four-year academic plan, and dozens of Word documents for story ideas, daily notes, etc. SO BASICALLY: I sit in the library for an hour each month and MAKE LISTS OUT OF MY LIFE.
