fall thinking leaving
I think in a way, you're doomed, once you can envision something. You're sort of doomed to make it happen. I've found that the moment I can envision leaving a relationship, that's usually the moment that the relationship starts to fall apart.
writing thinking surprise
Every time I write something, I think, this is the most offensive thing I will ever write. But no. I always surprise myself.
owning-a-pet adorable literature
Maybe humans are just the pet alligators that God flushed down the toilet.
writing simple stories
The only thing I shy away from is non-consensual violence. I can't write a story where someone is a simple victim because it's boring.

Discovering the 'impossible' ending to a new book makes me sick with joy and relief.

I think America is just so in love with conflict.
spirit fight-club-book destroying
Only through destroying myself can I discover the greater power of my spirit.
drama character idiot
I really love idiot, enlightened characters - these characters who fail to engage with the drama of their immediate circumstances; they fail to be reactive and enrolled by drama as it happens around them.
moving thinking jumping
I like to get people moving and jumping. I think it's good to add more emotion and chaos.
literature feels
More and more, it feels like I'm doing a really bad impersonation of myself.
life beautiful unique
You are not a beautiful, unique snowflake... This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.
love thinking blood
No matter how much you think you love somebody, you'll step back when the pool of their blood edges up too close.
coping-mechanisms giving literature
Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.
dope laughing cry
Why is it you feel like a dope if you laugh alone, but that's usually how you end up crying?
