Or maybe my secret is being a total void of self worth. Nothing to lose. Nothing to gain. The writing can't change things in either direction. No neuroses. Nothing in it for me soul wise. All that matters is the reader. So make it high high high quality.

new piece on me, on Marathon and the death drive. with music from caroline polacheck as a treat.
"On the stage of the main screen, your chosen shell cycles through poses, preening before the one-way glass that separates it from you. You cannot stay here forever, held in the virtual arms of your remote handlers, who croon motivational lullabies into your sleeping mind."
