Get to know Michelle:

What book changed the way you see and understand the world?
Maybe this is just in my head because I finished it recently, but Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions changed the way I think about the limits of writing and literature.

If you had one extra hour of free time a day, how would you use it?
Learn to make pasta, enjoy a long evening walk with my husband and puppy, exercise at a more humane hour than 6AM.

If you could pick up a new skill in an instant, what would it be?
Being better able to read people — their emotions, their goals, their thinking. Not exactly sure if I’m describing a skill or a superpower, but it gets my vote either way! Or else I’d love to magically be a skilled artist, painter or sculptor.

What do you want to be remembered for?
Not to be nihilistic, but none of us will be remembered for very long. 🙂
