Raise High the P.R. Blitz

There were a lot of things on my mind when I wrote "She's Not There," my memoir of being transgender, during a particularly cold Maine winter, but the green room of the "Today" Show wasn't one of them. Yet there I was, a year or two later, with the actress Lucy Liu looking over at me and saying: "I have a new movie. What are you on for?"

"Sex change," I said, and wondered how it was that I had wound up in this situation. Was this what it means now, to be a person of letters? Discussing one's genitalia with an actress from "Charlie's Angels"?

But to create fiction — or nonfiction, for that matter — without any thought of a reader seems creepy to me, the ultimate exercise in self-indulgence.

Awesome quote.  I'm stealing it.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...
