I have a system for too many things, like that guy in My Blue Heaven; he totally makes sense to me. For instance, I refuse to favorite more than ten books. Period.
I write stories that I want to read. I love mimicing writers and doing the things in my work that I think they should have done in theirs. That said, I hate fan fiction. Tried it once. Once was enough.
I marvel at comic books. I think I am the New Yorker. Once a week, anyway. I always have a poem nearby.
I like books that sucker punch you. I like books that make you have epiphanies in the shower hours later. I like books that challenge faith in everything and anything while reaffirming it at the same time. I like when an author takes what you know, even if its what you know from the book itself, and turns it right around on you.
I like spontaneity and try to avoid any and all rules or systems. Perfection must be ruined, and one must always seek to be witty, but never clever.
