  1. You know, I think when I get to the point of it being completed, I think that'll be the important thing for me. That I committed to doing it, and then it would be done.
  2. Funny. I read Running with Scissors a long time ago and I adore it. Also, I just finished his older brother's (his older brother is an aspie too) book called Look Me in the Eye. It was a revelation to me. I could read that book over and over and point out where I totally see myself. If I had to guess, my book will fall somewhere between the warm-and-hopeful-despite-the-situation tone of Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex*, the complex construction of a James Joyce/Haruki Murakami and the aspie-to-neurotypical translation of Look Me in the Eye / Born on a Blue Day. I really want it to be true to who I am, what I know I can do and really be great.
  3. So, I've had a lot of ideas and false starts over the years, but with all the things I've been through and going through right now, I think the time is finally right to write a novel based on my life to date. I think the hardest part for me will be to find my own voice, because I read so much and I have such profound respect for the authors I love. I also worry that my voice won't make sense to anyone because of my asperger's, but that's one of the main reasons I want to write this novel in the first place. Nice catch-22 there, huh? I don't know that there's a point to this, but I just sort of wanted to put that out there.
  4. I just started Peter F Hamilton's Night's Dawn triology. I looooooove his Commonwealth stuff, but this is a bit darker, edgier. It was harder to get into at first but I am totally loving the story now.
  5. I'm re-reading The Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami. I love it.
