I like to write quite a bit, though I seem to only have patience for short stories and flash fiction. I haven't practiced as much as I should have up to this point because I get caught up with big ideas that turn into big unfinished projects.

I'm inspired by quirkiness and love using deadpan humor, repetition and word-surgery (sticking words together that don't belong with dashes). I usually get hung up trying to bring said quirkiness into serious genres (meaning all of my characters are world-loathing anti-heroes with a snotty sense of humor fighting against tyranny and oppression everywhere). Think Fifth Element+Kill Bill+Ghost World+Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy+Series of Unfortunate Events+Slaughterhouse Five.

Or rather, that's what you'd be thinking if I ever finished anything.
