- Evil
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Some creative writing programs seem evil, but my experience at Irvine was totally the opposite, where I feel like they were really good at focusing in on each writers voice and setting. When I felt like I was obligated to write a story that was more typical, no one really liked it.
- Cool

I don't eschew autobiographical writing, but I'm not interested in mine to be so straightforward. The things that tend to move me the most are often those that I have to figure out its meaning for myself. The human being's ability to make a metaphor to describe a human experience is just really cool.
- Cake

- Nov 07, 2020
I like birthday cake. It's so symbolic. It's a tempting symbol to load with something more complicated than just 'Happy birthday!' because it's this emblem of childhood and a happy day.
- Feeling

I really like feeling connected to people and feeling like I have a good, solid sense of empathy.
- Balance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I get a little myopic in the act of doing any writing. I think I'm not as interested or not as able to write about balance, because I think there's something I want to try to get at. I'm trying to get at something about the experience of growing up or about families.
- Me

For me as a person, friendships are incredibly important to me, but in writing, they can distract me.

I love food. I'm not a great cook, but I love to cook, and I like how different it is from writing.
- Emotional Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Generally, I think most of my writing tends to have some kind of magical element to it. That's the way I can access the emotional life of the character.

Novels are so much unrulier and more stressful to write. A short story can last two pages and then it's over, and that's kind of a relief. I really like balancing the two.
- Fraught
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm obsessed with adolescence. I love to write about people in their 20s. It's such a fraught and exciting and kind of horrible time.
- Failure
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's a spectrum of those moments of connection and the moments we fail to connect, going from super-large successes to failures. Success would be love, I guess, and failure could still be love, but the bad side; and loss.

I love the idea of numerology, but I don't really believe in it. But I like thinking about what numbers convey.
