"I've been hiding for so long, I don't know how to unhide!" — I don't think xTx is an identity. xTx is a name, a label, almost a brand. The person behind xTx is a mystery, not the name. You can just shed the name, xTx, and the mystery will remain. " -xtx In fact, judging from my own process, which was much shorter, less painful, accompanied by little publicity of course, when I killed "Finnegan Flawnt" (who'd become a bit of a bore and a pompous arse), I'd say the mystery that you are to yourself as a writer and which may be one of the sources of your power as a writer, will deepen. Paradoxically, when you lose baggage, you gain weight. I say this dispassionately, I don't mind if you continue writing as xTx, it's still interesting, quirky and cryptic, but it sometimes sounds as if you want to leave all that behind. Then you'd be just one of us, but you'd be you. I don't know if that appeals." -finnegan flawnt

I like to think of my own writing. I like to think of my own writing. I really do. I like to think of my own writing as a game between my unconscious (using the concept ‘my unconscious' losely, including, among others, your unconscious) and my conscious mind (using the concept ‘mind’ losely as well, including, among others, your minds). I like to think of my own writing as something that goes on largely behind closed curtains. Wrestling with that verity feels like the work of a lifetime.  I like to think of my own writing. I like to think. I like my thinking.
