Shannon Michele Johnston kicks it in Northern California (somewhere near Jim Carrey) with her husband Dale and her five children. She has no MAJOR police records and is currently working as a Domestic Diva, an Art Docent (look the word up, it means cheap labor-as in free) and pretends be a starving artist...please send donations... |
• What do you do for a living?
I don’t do anything FOR a living, I just kind of do it you know? Ohhhh, you mean how do I survive financially? I vulture insurance, steal from Nordstrom’s and panhandle at the Galleria. • Who are your favorite artists?
God. I have always thought God was an incredible artist. • What influences you to write about/how you do?
Huh? What influences me to write about/how you do? I don’t really get the question, but I will make up an answer. Anything can influence me to write…I’m a writer it comes as naturally as a morning bowel movement. Fine thank you, how do you do? • Where do you see the underground writing scene in 25 years?
I don’t see underground writing being anywhere in 25 years. The enviro-guerilla militants will have “milled” us back to engraving each flowing thought in stone all over again. How agonizing it must have been to be on a creative bend back then. And that Independent Operator thingy-ma-jig will have us priced out of electricity, so, um, the forecast doesn’t look good without paper and electricity. Seriously though, most writers today write what they really think and feel “underground” is pretty much a thing of the past already. But if you want to cling to that etymology, go for it. • from cait - describe the smell of sex in 25 words or more…yaaa -
I can’t describe the smell of sex, I have no smell buds. I guess if I had to imagine a way to write it, I would compare it to a steaming manhole in New York City or an open sewer pond. I am sure the smell could not be altogether pleasant. I wouldn’t think it would be because of the places where sex comes from…it would occur to me that it has the potential to smell pretty gnarly. |
