Michael Bryson: Writing That Goes Everywhere

"We're vibrating together," Bill Murray told the New York Times (Nov 2012).

Life is a series of improvisations.

Life is also a series of stories.

Narrative is the gateway drug to meaning.

This website collects my writing life, 1990s to now.

It goes kind of ... everywhere.

I hope it makes your life a little bit groovier.

Bill Murray & NYT

Q. Did you ever think that the lessons you first learned on the stage of an improv comedy theater in Chicago would pay off later in life?

A. It pays off in your life when you’re in an elevator and people are uncomfortable. You can just say, “That’s a beautiful scarf.” It’s just thinking about making someone else feel comfortable. You don’t worry about yourself, because we’re vibrating together. If I can make yours just a little bit groovier, it’ll affect me. It comes back, somehow.
