The primary goal of fiction is to correctly formulate questions rather than provide definitive answers or solve problems.

“A work of art doesn't have to solve a problem, it just has to formulate it correctly.”

Writing is a learned craft that requires significant practice and time invested in the process.

“I always think of writing as a craft not an art. That is there's certain things you just simply have to learn.”

Editing the work of others is a difficult and personal process that risks overriding the original author's voice.

“I struggle I really struggle with editing other people's stuff because it's it's such a personal thing for me whenever from writing. So you know >> you know I don't know if it's that way for me.”
