(why are we assuming that grandmothers have low IQ? My grandma’s real smart and active…)
but, my job in simpler terms:
well, I shut myself up in a room and I write and write. And then when I finish writing I get a group of people together and we shut ourselves up in another room, usually in a factory building in the evening, and I tell them what to do—where to stand and what to say. And then finally, we are so proud of what we do, that we go into another space where lots of people come, and we show them.
Sometimes instead of me writing things for people to say I find some music and we move to that. If you look at us it will be like your dream—there are characters and a sort of story but sometimes people change into other people, and crazy things happen.
Now because this sort of work doesn’t earn much money, in the weekends I teach students how to write about poems and thick books. And I also teach this Chinese exercise in the park.
