okay now i just ffel like a prornographer...am i pandering to the bottom feeders...it's smut, i know it is...it only slightly better than a well written penthouse lettre...as a writer i know i'm goood at three things...lonlieness, violence and sex...its whatg i do...to be ashamed of that would somehow be akin to apologizing for breathing...

for me good storytelling begins with character...characters making choices...and then reacting, or not, to the consequences...because there is no choice without consequence...this is the lesson of daily life...add a dash of drama...and blam...youve got the beginings of a good story...it's a fairly simple formula...just like a martini, it's easy to fuckj up...the question here is what constitutes drama...in a human life the most pivitol events hinge on one of two things...love and death...these to me are the most fascinating parts of life...what drivesus to love...whhat are the many ways humans express love...hoow do we acknoledge death, if at all...addmitedly, sex and violence lie at the surface of these questions...why do we fuck...we seem to be part of an exclusive club that has sex for reasons other than procreeation...or is that a lie...why do we kill...again, we seen to be the exception in a system where the rule is to only kill for survival...theis is the stuff my writing comes from...and it the only defense i have for my subject matter...
