MANIFESTO
A brief manifesto on why I tell stories.
WHY I WRITE
The Gist
I have stories to tell. There's no other way for me to be satisfied by this urge except by writing and sharing them; that last part is particularly important. I have stories to tell, not stories to keep.
That's literally it.
WORDS TO LIVE BY
The Commandments
- Do what I want—especially if it hurts no one but myself
- Do not care what others think—no one
- Do not call one who I cannot talk about everything a friend
- Do call one whose company I enjoy an acquaintance
- Do not be afraid to look into the abyss
- Do (try) not to spoil food, by the order of our Pervert and Chef Sanji-kun
- Be perverted and weird—with adequate restraint
- Weave words, weave worlds, and drink iced tea and apple juice while doing it
- Fuck love, give me fire
I know who I am, I am who I am, and many will try to shake this man.
