A work of fiction is in many senses you, the writer. I mean style every bit as much as content. The feel for rhythm and cadence developed over decades, your private linguistic music and syntactical prejudices, even just where your attention tends to wander and land – all these biases amalgamate into your style, and this style usually shows through most powerfully when you remove your conscious attempts at stylization. "Kill your darlings" has the evocative punch of tough love, but what you really want to kill are your impostures. The soft-shoe adlib you resort to when your unconscious swaying seems plain and artless. The strained jokiness you lapse into when you worry your company is boring. The desperate bids for control that meet the creeping suspicion that good writing cannot be forced.

me listening to Chris Hansen drag the ever-loving hell out of Onision while also being respectful to the young ladies he interviews

Ah yes, this is super literally not literally Greg.

You’ve heard of Hansen vs predator. Now get ready for boomer vs groomer.
