Reno 911 reminded me: “If you can’t get excited about your work, how can you expect anyone else to?”

Literary vs. Genre. It’s a debate had mostly by linguistic and book nerds, one that honestly has no effect on anything important, so why even have it? Shut up! That’s why!
Increasingly, one of my favorite things is dialogue(ing) with Pablo D'Stair. He's the sort of arm-chair thinker/drinker, literary critic type that I get on well with. Recently, he and I had yet another email back-and-forth, this one for the Montage section of the Sunday Observer ("Sri Lanka's English Newspaper with the largest circulation"), where we wax on about genre vs. literary writing, the sound of language, what constitutes success, and more. Dare I say that this series is perhaps our most interesting dialogue yet (though, I reserve the right to someday find hidden genius in our past discussions). Head over to the Sunday Observer now get all icky with Pablo and Caleb sticky.
