I’ve always liked to entertain using humor. I do this only with those I feel most comfortable with, so this is a change for me. The best part of making this book is that I didn’t even really know where I was going to go with the stories. I like to take a scenario out of the air, and crazy ideas just keep popping up in my head. I am natural at doing this but never remember what I said or thought up the day before. It’s a mood, and the company and tone have to be right. I don’t make it happen; it just comes spontaneously. This is the first time I put my quirky humor down on paper.
This book takes what people have been through, have seen, agree with or don’t. It is real but fictional at the same time. As a matter of fact, the whole book is an oxymoron and contradiction in some way. The character I made up may exist in some way, although I have never actually met her in a complete way—she is a mixture of many. This character is a mixture of intellect and innocence, with a spin of crazy and irresponsible behavior. It is as if she could possibly be well-read, but has no concept of anything other than egotistical views. The character is, in a sense, a character. She is a mixture of many types of distorted and normal individuals, and in her viewpoint, she is brilliant and popular.
This book began with one open mic stand-up routine I performed.view less
