One of my favorite parts of writing is character research. Often my character's interests are adjacent to my own but its an excuse to become an even bigger nerd about it by exploring it through a character.

Writers always talk about how hard writing is, a lot of them even make the process sound miserable, but idk I think writing, while challenging, is super fun. Now EDITING? 🤬

I think deciding to write my first book at 40 is the best possible way I could've dealt with this mid-life crisis I'm having.

Think I'm gonna use bluesky as a diary of sorts as I write the manuscript of my first book.

Ngl I keep forgetting bluesky exists, I gotta bully more of my friends into getting on here. I think millennials have app migration fatigue though so its a hard sell.

Proud of LA, I mean I always am, but right now especially.

And I have zero patience for people who are working out their own raw animal terror and rage by attempting to spread it to others.

You can feel those feelings - I do, all the time - but you’re a useless asshole if you spend your time trying to make others feel as hopeless as you do.

Folks trying to act cool and aloof about the TikTok ban sound genuinely idiotic. If you don’t get why it’s a devastating and dangerous precedent, that says way more about you than the people lamenting its loss. I learned so much on that app. I saw the funniest shit of my life there. Shit sucks.

Whats a movie you would sneak into the Criterion Collection?

Peppermint Candy is on of the best movies I’ve ever seen in my life, and I think Sol Kyung-gu is one of the greatest actors of all time.
