I don't often focus on my other work, on this blog. Yet all my work is tied together. By that I mean my literary work, right now I've been working on a grant for foundation support and I've been searching for great comments from readers to make part of that grant. I have to say, over this past time I've been blogging. That the support has been really amazing I never thought I would get so much from writing this site. I want to take the time to thank everyone who has taken the time to comment and send me an email. You have really helped me grow as an artist.
That said I'm also blown away by a quote I got from one of my long time supporters, who has taken the time to read all my short stories, plays and novel. I'm really amazed by how much and how far writing this blog has helped me develop. Everything is connected.
"Alex sees New York and its inhabitants through an observer’s lens. In his finest work (almost finished pieces) he has the outsider sensibility combined with a genuine writer’s ability to perceive and understand. He is capable of what I can best describe as a sometimes painful, sometimes comic self-awareness. He is equally capable of turning this tender and penetrating lens towards the outcasts, the marginal people of a forever up-and-coming city. His narrative voice is at times bewildered but is at times always knowing. He richly deserves the time and support to allow him to continue his work."

Okay I'm done gushing.
