we just had our Fall/Winter
2024-2025 preview meeting and you people simply aren't ready. you're not. but don't worry, we have time, we'll get you there.

I always write 2k words a day when I’m actively writing :)

Some tentative interest, but I’m certainly not “taken”

My mosaic-novel / collection of leitmotif narratives / hall of mirrors / gallery of religious icons drawn from characters presented by real life is almost done. It’s called THE WORLD. Then it’s onto my real second novel: THE ABODE.

If you think this piece is eccentric, wait until you read what I'm going to write about our British tour in 2024––or about an American tour that's hopefully going to hit Miami, Texas, New Orleans, New Mexico... thepointmag.com/examined-lif... @willevans.bsky.social @deepv.bsky.social

A very devious thirst trap to set the tone…

How did you know!!

Max Lawton is in the house!
