"You don’t really ever walk 192 miles, you just take one step, then another, and that’s how books are written too. I type a sentence, I follow the line, and a book unfurls behind me."

I think that one of the fundamental questions one faces as an artist is: what do you do when you don't know what to do? Living with this, testing it, is at the heart of everything, and it is what Gen AI wants to deprive us of, the privilege of uncertainty.
