Hey Dave! Just wanted to say I've been quietly admiring your work from a distance for a little while. You're a really witty guy and I love your work! Keep it up.. it makes amateurs like me feel like there's some hope in continuing doing what we do.

When I was really young an hour and a half seemed like forever. If you told me then that I had an hour and half to do something, I’d think “wow, that’s ages” - now it flies by and can be easily wasted scrolling through tumblr.

Altering Form: Different Structures for a Novel.
There are innumerable different ways to write a novel. Irrespective of the modern trend for preaching a “correct” way to write, a “defined” way, history proves without a doubt that this is not true.
