I've often entertained paranoid suspicions about my fridge and what it's been doing to my poetry when I'm not looking, but I never even considered that my fan was thinking about me.

Even the people who have had success and made money writing these books of fiction seem to feel the need to pretend it's no big deal, or part of a natural progression from poetry to fiction, but often it's really just about the money, the perceived prestige.

I've never been a fan of euphemism.

My paranoia never ends, but I haven't been paranoid about being spied on my shadowy forces for some time now.

I never even visualized for a second doing what I'm doing.

I read my books to writing workshops and friends, and I'm often focussed just on keeping them entertained. I never think about marketing at all.
