yeah! I also think there's a slight difference in my audience on my twitter which is kind of professional oriented while my newsletter is more feelings oriented
glad ur less sad now!! / convinced me to watch knives out 3 / excited for ur short stories and i agree w ur assessment on lack of ‘literary science fiction’ question mark?
this shit is amazing i love reading your updates. i have no idea how you read so much and watch so much. are you like reading for 4 hours a day or something? when you read, do you often skim and skip around in the book? i dont skip around that much but i only read like 1 book a month lmao (i read maybe 1 hour a week)
do you feel like the kind of stories youre drawn to writing are like ted chiang esque or is there some slightly different thing youre going for (wondering bc i guess "psychologically driven sci fi that avoids dystopia or fantasy" feels super ted chiang to me, so maybe i recommend if you havent read him?)

I have similar questions
wait out of the 7 things i listed only 1 of them is a real book. the rest are all papers / stories / docs under a few thousand words
i do skip around a lot when watching movies / shows though bc of impatience

i actually strongly dislike ted chiang because i find his characters uncompelling HAHA
oh that's v fair i guess his stuff is super not character driven
