Portland Shakes Interview

Interesting to come across an older interview, to see what I was thinking about and working on a few years ago. Some things have changed, but what hasn't:

Be fearless. Be persistent. Be a nice person in real life, but be a total monster in your writing. Write monsters. Write monstrously. Write the scene you can’t see in real life but it would be great to see. Write a dark wish. Write something that will change the world. Write something that you get up in the middle of the night to reread. And reread and reread. And don’t let the bastards get you down.
