I'm Interested In Art, And I Think

So When I Write Characters And Situations And Relationships, I Try To Sort Of Utilize What I Know About The World, Limited As It Is, And What I Hear From My Friends And See With My Relatives.

The Conventional Wisdom Is - People Say This All The Time - You Should Only Write Something When You're Far Enough Away From It That You Can Have A Perspective. But That's Not True. That's A Story That You're Telling. The Truth Of It Is Here, Right Now. It's The Only Truth That We Ever Know. And I'm Interested In That Truth And The Confusion Being Part Of The Experience And Sorting It Your Way Through And Figuring It Out.

People Ask Me All The Time, "what Are Your Influences? Are You Trying To Do Beckett?" It's Like, "no, I'm Trying To Do Me." Whatever That Is. I Don't Know What That Is, But That's The Basis. I'm Trying To Be True And I'm Trying To Be Honest.

Story Ideas, But It's Also Musing On Stuff That I'm Thinking About. This Leads Me To This And This Leads Me To This. They're Kind Of Random And Haphazard. Often I Can't Find Anything. Somehow, By Doing That, Even Though I Don't Necessarily Refer To Them In A Specific Way, I Have Some Sort Of Architecture In My Head.

I Will Be Dying And So Will You, And So Will Everyone Here. That's What I Want To Explore. We're All Hurtling Towards Death, Yet Here We Are For The Moment, Alive. Each Of Us Knowing We're Going To Die, Each Of Us Secretly Believing We Won't.
