So far, the only plan I’ve come up with is writing. I can write, because writing -unlike choreography, architecture, or conquering kingdoms- is a thing you can do when you’re lonely and poor, and have no infrastructure, i.e., a ballet troupe or some cannons. Poor people can write. It’s one of the few things poverty, and lack of connections, cannot stop you doing.

I am currently writing a book, in the endless, empty hours of the day. It’s about a very fat girl who rides a dragon around the world and through time, doing good deeds. The first chapter is about her going back to 1939 ad making Hitler see the error of his ways, via a very impassioned speech, and cry.
