WHY DO YOU DO IT? WHAT DRIVES YOU?
1) Fury
3) Attention
2) Its cheaper than therapy
Truly? I find writing compulsive! I’ve always felt like a spambot who’s been projected onto with sweet smiles, a wet pussy and an airfilled skull ready to blow – I’m just spewing it back out tenfold. My conscience isn’t clear unless I’m vocal about the subversive joy I find in that release.
Without writing about it; I’d just be enabling a bunch of rich men to fuck me harder.
WHAT IS ONE THING YOU DO FOR SANITY MAINTENANCE?
Moments alone. Sweet, sweet solitude.
WHAT IS THE SCRAPPIEST THING YOU’VE DONE TO MAKE OR SAVE $$?
I could tell you about the Austrian doctor who creamed himself wearing the same pair of pants for a week before his appointment with me. But if it’s got to be a civ job...I was a zombie handler at a LARPing night in a museum once. Jeez, zombie fans are really hard work.
YOUR TASK IS TO PRESCRIBE ONE BOOK OR FILM TO THE COLLECTIVE. WHAT IS IT?
Tennessee Williams’ HARD CANDY short story collection
Current obsession?
I’ve just moved into a Victorian schoolhouse; the possibilities are endless.
MOST USEFUL FAILURE?
Everything I’ve ever done is a fat-ass fail. Despite the slippery slope, somehow I’m failing upwards.
Questions 3 and 4 of the questionnaire are one and the same:
3) "What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?"
4) "What is the trait you most deplore in others?"
Nothing grates you more than seeing your weaknesses in another person.
I deplore placation. You know how sometimes doing the right thing involves hurting someone and you just have to sit with that pain instead of trying to put a plaster on it. Although placation is all empathetic and shit, its also goddamn pussy behaviour. It takes strength to sit with the truth and I don’t believe the spoonful of sugar approach helps in the long run.
But am I guilty of the odd platitude? Like every day!
WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON?
I’m working on a longform manuscript of which the working title is “OBLOMOGASM” but I plan to procrastinate with lolita smut stories because it’s so much fun to write them. Especially considering that they will now be penned from the old schoolhouse.
DISCIPLINE OR ANARCHY?
Oh no darling; Anarchy takes discipline.
