Kris Truelsen does the creative thing as actor, director, songwriter, author, designer and highly opinionated consultant. Some of these he even gets paid for. He values thought above reflex, integrity above popularity, and maple above chocolate syrup.
Heya
Got a challenge for you (unpaid consultant-type). I’m crafting a story that uses comparisons between the mettle of humans & their metaphorical metal (gold = vain, steel = modest, etc.).
O Etymologist mine, which came first–mettle or metal? What is its (their) respective word-origins??
Black market tix to a staged reading in it for ya!
