"We want you to write the world," said Yewell.
"You want me to what?"
"Write the world," repeated Iman.
"Do you mean you want me to write to the world or about the world?"
Again, they looked at one another and back at me. "Yes," they said in u...

- About Me
- At any given time, I may be filling one or two of dozens of roles as an Artist. Currently, I'm a Writer describing to you the character you have met and the multitude of people that live in the body he assumes. Let us assume that this character is like a house. (Thank you, Matt Ruff).
On the first floor, this particular character has a screening room, there are several seats of all shapes and sizes, and new ones are added every day because they each provide a different perspective of what actually occurs in the House of Steve. There is also a great kitchen, expandable dinner table, living room, board room, den, library, and a wonderful view.
On the second floor, there are a number of studios that house the various artists that frequent the downstairs area. There is a Filmmaker and a Writer, obviously. There is also a guitar strummer, a singer, and a drummer (They're thinking of forming a band, but they're waiting for a bassist), then theirs a Sculptor (whose last great piece crumbled before he could get it molded and he hasn't been the same ever since), then there's the Teacher (who pretty much just rearranges the seats downstairs while he's waiting for students to arrive). Then, of course, there's the Student who seems like he's quite a know-it-all, but is actually just very excited about pleasing his mentor, the Teacher. The Student lives next to the Photographer who had a Pentax stolen several years ago, then dropped his Canon while hopping trains in New Mexico, and hasn't gotten a new one yet.
The Publisher has a corner studio with a bay window, but he is so behind in all that's one his desk, he doesn't have time to look out of it very often. Across the way in the far corner is the Producer. He's been underground for a while and had to go take a sabbatical but he has a new film called 'The Film Vault' that the writer gave him, so he's ready to pounce. The Actor is gearing up for on orginal play called 'Hay Day' by Jenny Beres. He's exctied about it because it's his first true straight play, after playing the title role in 'Hank Williams: Lost Highway'. The Editor just finished a film that the Actor worked on a couple of years ago called 'Yearning for Light'. You can watch is at www.yearningforlight.com.
The Politician has been quit for awhile because he was bludgeoned to the point of hopelessness by the last administriation, but he is pretty hopeful now and is starting to speak out more. His last campaign involved teaming with the Filmmaker on 'Lesson Learned' and then supporting the Obama campaign. He shares a suite with the Enviro-mentalist, who is always thinking up new ways for the house to go green and trying to convince the others to go along with it. He and the Politician don't always get along.
The Painter just finished some really cool chairs that are on sale at Everything But the Girl on Central Avenue in Sarasota. The Marketer is working with the Writer to develop 'The McAllister Code' a serial novel about how aliens turned Sarasota into a Marketing Mecca. They're just waiting on the Designer to get the website going.

- The things I like most about the Sarasota/Manatee area
- Hurricane preparedness. I think the blend of Creativity and Open-mindedness provides an environment where anything is possible but you have to blend it just right to make it the most pleasant.
- My Interests & Hobbies
- Preparing for hurricanes, watching my grass grow, laying in the hammock. Unfortunately, my hammock broke the other day, so now I think I'll spend more time at this computer on some of these social networking sites like Anything Arts.
- My Favorite Local Restaurant
- Everybody in the house has his or her favorite. Some of them are: Siesta Key Oyster Bar, Cosimo's, Sangria, Roadside Rib Shack, Chipotle, First Watch, Five One Six Burns, O'Leary's, Miss Saigon, El Greco, and the list keeps growing...
- My Favorite Place to Experience the area the Way Locals Do
- Again, each has his own: South Lido Beach Park, the beaches, Main Street, the many parks, Siesta Village, the Farmer's Market, Red Barn Flea Market, Burns Square, the Rosemary District...
- My Favorite Local Event(s)
- Hurricane preparedness, the Sarasota Film Festival, ARTS Day, E-Fest, the now defunct Reading Festival (which one of us thinks should just be held in a neighborhood that supports reading)...

- How I heard about AnythingArts.com
- Rick and Christine have been doing this for years. I've heard about it in so many places and from so many people, that it's hard to say where I heard about it first.

About Life
"Exactly why did you pick me?"
"Because you paid attention," Yewell stated. "Do you think you're the only one we've sent messages to? That's our entire mission here: to speak to your people."
"About what?"
"About life."
"I thought you wanted me to write about marketing?"
"We do."
"So what's that have to do with life?"
"Everything."
"I don't understand."
"Most don't," Yewell said with a shrug. "That's why we want you to help us. You see, as often as we try to communicate with your kind,… Continue
