Writer StatementI agree with John Gardner that the writing of fiction is the "creation of a vivid and continuous dream." To write, one enters this dream state and allows one's characters to inhabit one's being and to speak through one. My fiction influences are diverse and range from 19th-century traditionalists like Henry James, Edith Wharton and George Gissing to 20th-century modernists like James Joyce and Virginia Woolf and postmodernists like Donald Barthelme. The Decryption of Floriform X -- This short, illustrated fiction was written on Twitter circa 2008, each tweet numbered to keep track. The God of Wind and Air -- Unfinished sequel to Decryption, written collaboratively on Twitter. The Manuscript of Jacob Hall -- Why write fiction? What is it "for"? |
Monday, May 21, 2007Honda Motorcycle, 08-14-98 Honda Motorcycle, 08-14-98 One sunny August day, nine years ago, I sat outside and sketched this motorcycle parked at my curb. I'm no fan of the noise pollution (sorry, bikers), but they do make wonderful drawing exercises. Inspired by the new book of Tennessee Williams' notebooks, I've just organized my 1/4-page notes and daybooks for the past seventeen years. They make a stack about 8.5 inches tall. (The Tennessee Williams book is very thick as well, and runs over eight hundred pages.) I've selected some drawings of interest from my notebook archive and will be posting them over the next few days or weeks. Labels: image posted at
