i've been in a biting mood lately. reviews make me tired. they seem pointless: a manifestation of a writer's need to be acknowledged by someone other than himself. the kind of affirmation you get from support groups.
by that logic, negative criticism would be more meaningful, more useful. 'fight club' to those support groups. really? it certainly doesn't seem so. you'll write what you'll write after all, and who should say anyone knows any better than you?
still, i've got a cup or two of red wine in me, and, anyway, i've been in a biting mood lately...
Kenneth Yu asked for feedback on the Digest of Philippine Genre Stories, Issue 1 stories, and i had promised to dish 'em out a while back. so here they are, over on me other life.
