Evan is one of the Hobart Fiction editors, and he reached out to ask me some questions about the story I recently published there, what I'm currently reading, and what I think about the Internet. He published the least rambling of my thoughts, thankfully, in his substack below:
It is also a very cool substack that is very much worth reading irrespective of my slight contribution to the most recent post.
I also got second place in this contest: https://shortstorycompetition.com/2021-results/
They only publish the story of the first place winner, so my piece is as yet not out in the world, but hopefully that will change soon.
I read an amazing, amazing story recently, which I’m glad to see exists on the internet:

It is the last story in this book
which sat on my bookshelf for a year before I read. I highly recommend it.
