In my short stories there's a lot of focus on people successfully and not successfully responding to some sorts of discomforts or instabilities.
I cut hundreds of pages from my book because I felt myself being reiterative or redundant. Sometimes I wanted to leave just hints of things.
Sometimes you just feel like you could work forever on something and never know when it's done.
As someone who played music and never got famous, and remembers little fragments of that, I don't remember life as a dramatic flamboyant thing.
I am fascinated by tiny, incremental changes, almost imperceptible shifts in how people orient themselves in the world, because those are in some ways the most hopeful.
