My name's Scott and I'm only half serious about wanting to be a cherry blossom.

I'm a Thomas Pynchon acolyte and place more importance on character than any other element, although setting and history (I don’t think history is an element proper, but in my writing it’s key) are close seconds. I love the concept of Magic Realism. It makes me vibrate. I love sentences that span on for lines and hyper-saturated conceits and flowery language and flourishes of the pen and the rubicund speckles I see after having written something sublime. I have more loves towards literature that dislikes, but if I had to name one, it would be Propaganda. If I get the feeling I'm reading propaganda, and the author isn't insightful enough to realize what he or she is doing, then I have no business with that author.
