Personal Statements

Personal statements. I dread them. How should you write about yourself without gushing too much or sounding like a pompous ape?

Well, this one was required for a fellowship. "Tell us about yourself in a personal statement or multimedia presentation," they said. So I woke up last Sunday, set up my ancient studio lights, my DSLR and filmed myself. Sometimes it's good to force yourself to do something. It's a little less scary each time.
