Bear J. SleemannA Granular Dissection of Intent, Psyche, and Cultural Pathology

To review one’s own work is not to critique it, but to autopsy it. It is to lay the cadaver of your creation on the slab, pick up the scalpel, and make the incisions that reveal not just the technical anatomy of plot and character, but the diseased organs of the society that necessitated its birth.
