Major theme of the book ["Hotels of North America"], from my point of view: what is persona, what is self, in the digital sphere, and/or what is the effect of it on self in a prolonged interaction.

There’s something really rich and powerful in not talking about what you need to talk about sometimes.

I am excited by... the new novel by Samantha Hunt. She's a writer I really admire a lot.

I judged about a zillion awards this year so Ive been reading a lot of books that just came out.

I always wanted to write something illustrated, and the Details strip finally gave me the opportunity.

I do think that just about whenever I am writing, or more accurately, whenever I have written, I feel better and more at peace as a human being. That doesn't mean, unfortunately, that the literary product is any good.

I made this list of stuff that it's time for me to try to do.
