What is art? Who am I? Thoughts on how I learn the same things about my process over and over, each new book an education. Also thoughts on Gen X, Tik Tok, age, albums, symphonies, and how long a chapter should be.

Whether there's an objective quality of "good" in writing, what I think is subjective and what is more objectively quantifiable. Also what I mean by continuity errors and inconsistent characterization.
