On my creative process…
If information is like raw food, I believe stylistic trappings–pace, rhythm, and often cultural context–are what allows it to be cooked, seasoned, and enjoyed as entertainment. In writing, stylistic trappings are word choice, tone, perspective, etcetera. However, I think a compelling style defies an established checklist–Tarantino consistently uses outdated styles, and nobody saw Kpop Demon…

A zany and profane ad for my paperbacks for the Unbound Realm
“You know why we’re here.” Tom Cruise looks gravely from face to face. “Kent Fucking Wayne. He’s taken the Man Whore world by complete fucking storm. Over the last few years, we’ve seen our rankings wither into dust.” He’s answered by a series of murmured agreements. Timothy Chalamet and Austin Butler nod along and cross…

I suspect there’s a difference between negativity that naturally arises, without any prompting or deliberation, and negativity that arises through willful focus. I suspect natural negativity is meant to be internally felt and allowed, if not externally expressed (if we always expressed it externally, it could destroy relationships or send us to prison). And, once…

I believe there is a natural rhythm to the unfolding of reality, and if we harmonize with it, we are gifted with inspiration and/or positive synchronicities that seem to materialize against all odds. I believe this internal harmony is what gives rise to optimal creative expression. And even if it requires an outward display of…

As frustrating as it might sound, I believe intuition and feelings have the final say in what I write and publish. The alternative is to ping-pong back and forth between established standards and technical theories on what makes something “good.” Sure, I might be able to construct a checklist based on technicalities that proclaims something…

A zany and profane ad for my paperbacks for the Unbound Realm
What the fuck? Last thing I remember was jerking it to myfriendshotmom dot com, then something hit me on the head and it all went dark… “Hnngh!” I can’t loosen the ties around my wrists or ankles. “Help!” I yell. “SOMEBODY HEL—” The lights click on, illuminating an empty, expansive warehouse. Two people come strolling…

There’s plenty of writers who have written bad things. Most first drafts are probably close to unreadable. In my opinion, that isn’t the point. Writing is a process of self-discovery, where you reflect on exactly what you want to say, and critique yourself (while editing), so you convey your assertions and philosophies in the most…
