Childhood Beliefs: When the Moon Follows You
Di masa kanak-kanak, penulis percaya bahwa bulan mengikutinya, menciptakan rasa kedekatan dengan alam semesta. Seiring bertambah dewasa, penulis menyadari absurditas keyakinan tersebut, namun tetap merindukan perasaan keindahan dan makna.

New essay: **The Story of How I Became Boring**

At least three times now, I’ve said something like: “I used to be so funny, you know? Crazy, you might say. Outrageous. Always ready with a pun, a joke, a quip, or, on one memorable occasion, a taser aimed directly at my best friend’s butt.” On some nights

From Chesterton dictating past midnight, to Chinese web fiction authors racing through 10,000 words daily. What does their obsessive output reveals about the nature of writing itself? The volume isn't the point. The showing up is.
