"It's one thing to want money, but if you find yourself choking on a coin as you wake, the money is slightly less desirable."

Previous Quote

Fiction stymies me with its possibility. I can't see the bottom and I freeze, cling to the side, or just choke. In nonfiction, particularly that which takes personal narrative for its primary topic, I have a finite space and a finite amount of material. I can't fabricate material, I can only shape and burrow into it.
