Hello, I'm Rachel.

I am 25 and I live in NYC, but I grew up chasing tumbleweeds and hornytoads in New Mexico. I write things for a living, for now. I like the arts, photographs, old movies, the web, and the city, and tend to wonder how each influences the other. I thought this might be a good place to collect a few of the million images, sounds and ideas I get distracted by every day--sentimental though they may be. Welcome to my corner.

And if you just want to say hi, please do. I write back.

Great piece on the Pulitzer-winning playwright in the NYT this weekend:

“Asked what he wrote about in Oklahoma, he replied instantly, “Violent madness.” There was a disturbing story in the first grade,” he said. “We had to make little books where you illustrate the cover, and my story was called ‘The Psychopath.’ The cover showed a man hanging in the closet, and he had also shot himself in the head.” His teacher gave him an A+.”

I just saw August:Osage County this weekend and I would go a million more times. I feel slightly criminal for not having been before now.
