y'all @lindsaylerman.bsky.social's interview with Sarah LaBrie in @thecreativeindependent.com is so good 😭 made me want to write! thecreativeindependent.com/people/write...

We have to tell stories, and we have to tell them in the best possible way we can, in our moment in history. And so I was like, OK, fine. I'll serve the gods of literature in whatever way I need to, even if that means that I produce something that I couldn't imagine myself producing 10 years ago. But that's good. I have to change. We have to change.

I love that. Yeah. Then maybe that's what our social responsibility is, because I definitely don't think it's our responsibility as writers to show people what's right. I don't know that what I'm talking about is even a political responsibility. It's not. It's to keep writing and to write well and to be true to whatever that invisible dream force is that drives you to do it is, as opposed to the one that says, make as much money as you can and then die.

The secret is that other writers aren't competition; they're peers, colleagues and friends. Someone who reads me is going to read other writers as well; the entire publishing economy is "yes, and." Therefore it does me no harm, and much good, to support other writers and to wish them well.

RED FLAGS Eight stream of consciousness stories from the points of view of people actively dying, inspired by the woman who was run down and dragged at the intersection outside my apartment. Plus three out-of-print chapbooks. (House of Vlad, 2024) “Elsby at her most devastating.” -David Simmons

if you exist a little too much in the physical world to really kill it on social media (or you can’t buy your way in), the only strategy is to make things so beautiful that they slowly but surely break into the virtual world. it works

I recommend systematically and relentlessly confronting every single way you’ve sold yourself short over the course of your life

I remember dad telling me about how he was in Paris when Jim Morrison died and how all the Americans kinda stumbled out into the streets together, processing. Is this like that?
