Derek LandyI write almost always in the third person, and I don't think the narrator is male or female anyway. They're both, and young and old, and wise and silly, and sceptical and credulous, and innocent and experienced, all at once. Narrators are not even human - they're sprites.
Philip PullmanDo not become self-sufficient . Self-sufficienc y is Satanโs net where he catches men, like poor silly fish, and destroys them. Be not self-sufficient .

And therein lies my fulfillment. That's when the music starts to happen.

I'm constantly fighting with this thing inside of me that says I should be sitting in a room with Matthew Shipp or I should have Han Bennink on drums or this song should be playing for the next 20 minutes in my head, not a silly little pop song.
