I don't consider genre while writing.

Worldbuilding to me is taking the consequences of an idea.

I want my voice to be consistent no matter if it's an original or a translation.

Some of my other stories are talked about as fantasy, some as horror, and some aren't talked about as genre at all. And the same story will be labeled differently depending on country.

I'm not comfortable with categorizing my own work, but I don't mind if others talk about it in relation to genre as long as they don't try to hold it up to some genre standard.

When I returned to short stories, I'd started working on what is still central to much of what I try to do: putting myself in the place of the alien rather than describing it from an outside point of view.

Time is built entirely on consensus: humans decide that they have linear time, so they do.
