Hiiii it's me. I wanted a place to share my writing, so here we are :-)
Content to Expect
- Slices of life
- Comedic bits
- Old pieces newly workshopped
- 2 am debriefs after a major happening
- Leading to self-indulgent journal entries that I WILL delete!!
- Text messages too long to stay text messages
- Longer-form autofiction and essays maybeeee
- Whatever I come up with
Manifesto
Be lovingly cerebral - see home page
Embody clarity. Find the exact words to express what needs to be said. Say exactly how much needs to be said.
Never take myself too seriously...BUT Be serious even when I'm joking
Do not give into internal or external pressure to curate this site to perfection
Embody / lean into my likes: Intentionality, complexity, humor, surprise, wit, playfulness, multilingualism that evades machine translation, genre-bending, commitment to intensity, calls to action (more to come!!)
Avoid / critically engage w dislikes: wallowing, inconclusive philosophizing, feel-good fluff, empty virtue signaling, writing under pressure/deadlines, uncritical western and imperialist perspectives, entertainment without nuance, mindless participation in trends
TELL ME UR THOUGHTS!!!!! (SERIOUS) (I'M SO SERIOUS!!)
I know there's no comments section on Bearblog. Therefore, please share your thoughts w me through text message / email / knocking on my window / getting me fired at my job, whatever. Also I'm not entirely fluent in Chinese but I choose to write in it anyways, so feel free to tell me if I got something embarrassingly wrong LOL.
