if the 'how to be perfect' piece has anything to do with your views on existentialism, free will, or human nature i'd like to see that

i am voting for:
1. lonliness at NYU
2. sex with boyle
3. the things i think most the time

An account of your experience sharing ambien with a girl you met at a party would be interesting to me. Your perceptions while intoxicated reveal your (successful) attempts at self-control. I like that. -wrongtable
i like third person open-letters, all jesse eisenberg ones (maybe especially techniques directors have utilized to...), how to be perfect, every time you've had sex with megan boyle, how to choose which cereal to binge eat on
1st one/ what emmet said
i would like to hear about these 'indie' films you say you 'vaguely' remember seeing. i wonder how 'indie' these films are and how 'vaguely' you remember them.
i would like to read that sci fi short story
I would be interested in knowing how writing your books, stories and poems have helped you in your life. Obviously writing is cathartic, but what originally drew me toward your writing was your interview on The Rumpus, when you wrote/spoke of writing concrete things, not subjective, to reduce suffering in life. (It's been a little bit since I read the interview). And since some of your stories are inspired by your life, it seems that writing it initially gives catharthis. But then upon editing perspective is given and then the character stops being you, and becomes another person; perhaps the you at that time. For myself the more I go over a story that came from my life, the more perspective I get and the character stops being me. The pains and anxiety or whatever stops mattering and I view it as something that's not me, but me then.
This is just something I could relate to in your writing before I read your novels/novella. And once I did read them, I found I could relate in so many ways and loved the trance-like way your books read. They flow and take the reader out of their life (also causing reflection).
I read Jean Rhys' "Wild Sargasso Sea" recently, and saw how you formatted your paragraphs in RY like she did. I liked that. Interesting enough, that was a movie on Cinemax when I was a yung teen before the internet. More a Skin-a-max movie, but with a good/dark story.
dont write about what Blogger Brian McElmurry says to write about, couldn't get 1/8th of the way through his response. seems like it could be pretty bleak.
1.-4. top 10 jesse eisenberg
5. top 10 werner herzog but replace instances of 'werner herzog' with 'jesse eisenberg'

10. ideas we want to patent (publish it twice, ignore comments that it was already published once)

'i have more than 1 writing style' made me laugh though i feel its presence here is the extent of its humour.
'sex with megan boyle' is interesting.
also 'top 10 addictive things / top 100 stock phrases'
and 'how to be perfect'
megan boyle sci fi sex story.
the ones that are the most exciting to me are -
-writing related earnings
-lorrie moore essay
-how to be perfect
-...open letters...
-(MDMA vs. ....)
-(sex w/boyle)
brackets indicate slightly lower level of excitement...
how to choose which megan boyle to binge have sex with
sex/ambien...
also maybe where taiwanese-american fear of black people falls on the scale of fear of black people in comparison to the calibrating standard of white person fear of black people.
Anything about Lorrie Moore
Ha. How To Be Perfect.
i'm interested in reading 'how to optimize your recreational drug use' or 'how i view different races in relation to 'white people''
Do I have more than 1 writing style. Seems like it would help placate those rascally rabid detractors.

Pretty insightful post. Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a good deal of my time looking for someone to explain this subject clearly and you’re the only one that ever did that. Kudos to you! Keep it up
I don’t quit and keep penning mainly because it simply just that is worth to read it.
great work
Good choices! Excited to read! :)
