Truth is I'm never scared of the book's topic while I write because I'm so focused on the execution and the million choices around voice, etc.. That attention to craft keeps the plot at arm's length. My fear coalesces around how I can risk presenting something very risky to an audience. There's my ego to get past. And there's that long moment when the audience hangs between being offended versus being amused. That's what I fear.

Congratulations to the winners!

“Exquisite loss” didn’t make the cut? Huh.

If only there were a two word combination to describe how that feels.

I really thought B12 Urine had it, but I'm not complaining.

Yeah, I binged it over a weekend. My favorite is the one where the prisoner gets his last meal.

There are an amazing number of colors.

I'll never write red, blue, green, yellow, etc. when I can use these:
