We are not nouns, we are verbs.
I am not a thing – an actor, a writer…
I am a person who does things, and
I never know what I’m going to do next.
I think you can be imprisoned
if you think of yourself as a noun.
Stephen Fry
Thomas Cardwell, a genuine International Man of Mystery, moved to America in 2010, becoming an American citizen in 2017. Some say that Once Upon a Time He Ran Away to Join the Circus; Those people are slightly mistaken… However, two decades working as a ‘freelance creative professional’ did teach him how to write about himself in the third person for added gravitas. These days, when invited to pick nouns, Tom prefers to reply, “I love telling stories, with words and pictures.”
