Having a voice unlike another means you've "found yourself" as a writer.

The problem with the term "The New Fiction" is that the fiction will inevitably be old. The same could have been said about the work of any generation of writers.

I don't have a philosophy. I have an instinct. I accept stuff that I like.

Online writing is supplementary, complementary, another part of the whole, something that's only as important as one's investment in it.

Considering that "literary fiction" is a sub-genre that's not quite the same as "literature," either, it follows that the short, semi-humorous bits posted online for all to see are something absolutely other, uniquely themselves compared to canonical short stories, for example, and so it'd probably be best to call it something other than "online lit" since I honestly think very little of it can compare to so-called "literature."

I'm an only child and an American and am wholly in favor of uniqueness of voice in everything, especially music and writing.
