The thing about a life in performing arts plus years living in Japan is... after a while, one way or another there are a lot of public nudity stories. 😂
If the middle of this thread happens to inspire you, please pick a personal story you love and instead of the story, share the oblique chapter titles, too. That would bring me a lot of joy!
I'm still thinking about this story. I'll probably regale the next friend I talk to with it.
Meanwhile, here are the chapter titles:
1. How I met the monk (not the Swami, a different character altogether and a pivotal one)
2. Doing a favor for a friend
3. Getting thrown in the deep end
4. Public nudity, and/or the avoidance thereof
5. I'm glad I survived this part which was not a given

Thinking about the time I got called in as a last-minute interpreter for a swami from Mauritius.
That is the tip of the iceberg for a long, winding, ridiculous story but in this moment I am just delighting in the poetry of the phrase "a swami from Mauritius".*
*And also, as ever, boggling at the absurdity of my life.

Most of you probably don't know that I narrate audiobooks, so I should probably bring that up more often, hmm?
I am not taking new contracts at this time as AI scrapes up public voices and destroys the field. But I still have a catalogue of past work that pays royalties. I narrate(d) romance as Eden Cavell (with a one-off novel as Alana Thicke), as well as non-fic under my own name.
