I find myself writing protagonists who do feel pretty cut off from others but who want to make connections and aren’t very good at it Picture Quote #1

Part of being a writer is feeling that constant dissatisfaction, thinking about what else you could do, and also knowing when it’s time to leave a project Picture Quote #1

For me, the genders are an essential element of numbers and letters, not something that could be removed from them Picture Quote #1

I have what I came to find in my research is a mild form of synesthesia, though I never would have labeled it as such. It’s how I think about numbers and letters. They all have inherent genders Picture Quote #1

Synesthesia has interested me for a long time, both as a literary device and as a puncturing of the membranes that organize how the world comes into someone’s head Picture Quote #1

Giving the reader the space to move around and be active, and encourage their active response is important to me. That will connect the reader more to the text Picture Quote #1

I don’t know whose sensibility I’m responding to. Until someone starts pushing against what they’ve inherited and starts making their own decisions about language, it’s difficult Picture Quote #1

When I watch students make particular decisions about language, structure, and form, it sharpens my own thinking and my own development as a writer Picture Quote #1

There’s always something else to work on and different solutions to these problems in the next thing. We each have a certain set of obsessions which we each cycle through Picture Quote #1

Part of being a writer is feeling that constant dissatisfaction, thinking about what else you could do, and also knowing when it’s time to leave a project Picture Quote #1
