I actually can't listen to music and write poetry at the same time, but I do kind of think about the music I've been listening to when I write.

I don't know that I find either aspect of Jesus more interesting than the other, although maybe I think about the God one more.

I learned to write with my desk in the living room, next to the TV. But mostly in my head, and I try to be able to do it under any circumstances.

I wanted to be a composer for a while, and for a while, and maybe still, I found writing music much easier than writing poetry. So maybe my brain clings to it.

I had/have a habit of sending books out before they're ready. And then I edit with almost absurd intensity. But I've done about a book a year.

There's no such thing as an animal too big too kill, AND we're cornered by such animals every day.

A white noise app wouldn't work for me - I would be too distracted by the non-white noise noises I could still hear, even more distracted than i would otherwise be. So I have to just accept the regular noises.
