For a short period when I was around 10 years old, I spent a number of nights watching lights landing in a field about a quarter mile from my house. They were blue lights, and they moved in total silence. This happened every night for about two weeks, then never again. Around the same time, I was having strange dreams in which I was swimming through a liquid that I could breathe, trying to get to a hatch that, in the dream, I knew contained someone I loved, but that always closed just before I could gain entrance. Taken in combination, these have always felt like novelistic elements to me.

I like to read something great and short. Sometimes a poem that I know and love, or one of the shorter Donald Barthelme stories. If I read something and it has an effect on me, I get fired up to go and make something.

I would go to Narnia, and I would raze the fucking place, reduce it to ashes, and ensure that no one ever traveled there again.

Hi Ashley! I'm not sure if you know this because it's been chaos, but the publication date for the book is pushed back to September 1st. But I do have another email for Katie. Can you email me at dholland98@gmail.com? I feel weird leaving HER info out here in public. Thank you!
