Okay, I for got to also add. Andrew, you have a twin?! That was some real profound stuff you said around community and disagreements and holding space for moving forward while acknowledging conflict.

Ok I finally got a chance to properly listen to the interview. Here’s the notes I jotted while I listened:

-Cackles at you having to start number 4 over cuz you got rantarifick.

I relate heavily to your foundation of the culture of competition. I appreciate you bringing that excitement to fiction.

You’re a twin? I never knewwwwww

“I don’t really think I answered most of these questions but I definitely gave you something” — I cackled.

I like your quick distinction between performative EGO and actual EGO (writing prompt).

Excited for all the things.

Great interview!

I'm disturbed by how many ideas I share with you on art and fiction, genuinely disturbed. Phenomenal interview. I can't wait to read everything. If I don't get an Advanced Reader Copy or Galley I'm gonna be real disappointed.

I can't wait to see what comes next.

Hey, Peter! Do you mind if I link this fantastic portrait and exploration to a little ditty I wrote last week about the man? It won't get any traction or anything, but I think if anyone gets interested, it'd be cool if they could find this piece.
