the together project

The story I'm working on is about a man who buys a gray cardigan that reminds him of a girl who left him for a distant country just when he was about to tell her she is better off to leave him.

Writing is a most solitary act. As I sojourn on this path in writing, there will be times when I will have the chance to collaborate with other artists. I look forward to these times. At this point of my creative career I'm still very much into my own project, aiming for a story, a book, published in my name. What is in a name? It's too heavy, too solid a matter. It weighs me down all too often. How does this weight compare to the joy of seeing a joint project flourish?

The writer of the play I saw today refers to himself as a gentle emotional soul beneath the lonely mid-age bachelor's appearance. Born in the 70s and growing up entirely in Hong Kong, his deep affinity with the harbour can only be understood by those who have spent a considerable amount of time living it out in this city-entity.
