I Don't Read Much Of Anything Online.

I Enjoy The Opportunity To Use Swear Symbols. The Reader Reads Into Them Something Worse Than What You Normally Would Have. They Work As This Outburst Of Incoherent Anger. I've Found Ways To Write Around Swearing That Are Much More Effective, Rather Than Going For What Someone Really Would Say.

There Are Certain Things In There That No One Else Would Recognize, Really. I See Details Of My Life That I Didn't Even Intend To Put In When I Was Doing The Work. For Example, I Noticed That Every Single Kid In The High School In The Death-ray Is Based On Somebody I Went To High School With.

That's Been My Main Interest For The Last 15 Years, Is To Really Make Sure The Story And The Characters Take Precedence Over Everything Else, And That I Give Them Everything I Can To Make Them Exist As Actual People.

I Really Want People To Read The Book, And Bookstores Never Sold An Issue Of Eightball Because Nobody Knew What It Was.

I Was 30 Before I Made A Living That Was Not Embarrassing.
