On Trusted Inspiration

The things that inspire me, the ones that work, that I return to when the page wrestles for blankness, are things that promise comfort. And comfort, for me, are stories.

Stories flatter. It's beautiful. It's beautifully biased realities that offer comfort, that fuel me. Other people's dream machines fuel me. The noise, the sound of them huffing and puffing, sings my ego to sleep. So, I can take the leap. It's theft. I am a legal thief. I steal comfort to create blissful illusions of my own.
