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.

It turns out that my memory is just not that great, so for specific scenes with people doing stuff, sometimes I'd have the details all wrong or I couldn't remember what happened exactly, so I just let that be.

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

I think literature is best when it's voicing what we would prefer not to talk about.

In general, each form is a relief from the other forms. I can't write a novel after a novel. I just use up all the material each time, and I need to rest.

God howls with laughter at earthly plans, you know?

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