All Comments on 'The New Masochism'

You are not a masochist - you just want to clock up titles on your list of publications. This is lazy, meaningless, pretentious bullshit.

That's it. My 64 chapters and stories, and 550,000 words submitted (to date), weren't enough. I really needed this to push me over the top. Busted.

I love this. Each sentence (including the fragment) cleanly states a different, related idea. Like a haiku in traditional form, the last line expresses a distilling image. Beautiful.

Only now reading this piece — read over and over, and felt. Hope that you share this “side” of your talent.
