kidna proud of saying this out loud tbh xraylitmag.com/its-kinda-pu...

I think the very idea of a “Great American Novel” is kinda dumb. In the parlance of Tacoma, or of Kevin via Tacoma, I kinda think Great American Novels “aren’t real.” That said, I have an ego. I have ambitions. I’m mostly a happy-go-lucky dork doofusing his way through life and writing, but I also want to have as many readers as possible, I want people to think highly of my writing, I want to be someone’s (many someone’s, ideally!) favorite writer, I want people to think the writing is “great.” I don’t normally wrestle with those contradictions that much irl, but I think it often then ends up on the page.

Renee Good’s final words were, “I’m not mad at you.” Alex Pretti’s final act was protecting a woman who was being attacked. Abolish ICE.

I'm fully confident literary magazines will survive the AI apocalypse. There is no better time to become a creative writer. You already have an inside track because most people have never even heard of these things that can never die. We will be here with the cockroaches and Taco Bell
