I have written academic and fictional texts, and in both cases, I have found that writing the kind of text I would like to read myself yields a better result than pandering to the mainstream.

I used to direct music videos and tried to explain this to bands who wanted to "look cool" all the time! That being sincere and weird is the most interesting and "coolest" thing a person can do, whereas trying to appear cool is by far the least cool thing you can do.

Yes, I took your master class on writing about weird little goblins. Where would writers be without them?

I commonly referred to mine as gremlins. You're right though... they're more goblin-ish.

I can't stop writing until the mind goblins are pleased, and that isn't something I seem to have control over !

Isn't this the central key to, like, your entire career?
