As a writer, I create people out of nothing, torture them, and fail to give them contentment. All because I am, myself, broken.

Nothing like a critique group to make you question why you even try. I am a puppy getting swatted by a cat.

Fandom is rotten as a concept, man. I understand it helps a lot of people who struggle with socializing to find community, but I think it's pretty clear the end result is the very difficult to reverse enmeshment of individual identity with corporate property.

Controversial take: Books about books, movies about movies, songs about songs, are all just lazy art making.

The story rattles in my mind, knocking on doors behind my eyes and mouth, wailing to be let out. And because my brain is a poor translator of stories into words, it takes a few tries to get the lines right. All the while, it screams and screams.

Shortlist for my favorite books. An elegy for bodies at work, grief in airtight compartments. Ravn’s prose disassembles the self like a hand unlatching a helmet in zero gravity. Language mutinies. Memory aches. There is no resolution, only drift. I left the pages feeling less human, more haunted.
