I was thinking earlier about my writing style, which I actually find quite hard to describe. It's sort of real world influenced, but I guess all writing is to a certain extent. I write across a lot of different genres too so it's hard to kind of describe it in words that are immediately understandable. Actually, I don't even know if understandable is a word. Maybe there are two things happening here, I find my style difficult to pinpoint because I haven't found my voice yet, or I have and I can't find the words to communicate that style to others. Anyway, I go back and forth on this, and I've been thinking about it again recently because of the letter of representation request I sent to the agency a couple of weeks ago that hasn't responded.

One common element is humour, regardless of genre. And it's a dark, cynical, anything is funny kind of humour. Another common element is people trying to connect, regardless of what relationship they have in the work. The search to be understood. Another theme that finds itself repeating in my work is what I would call metafiction, a kind of knowing, break the fourth wall, self conscious understanding that the work itself is exactly that. And then layering it. Layer upon layer upon layer upon layer. I wrote this earlier, which is why I'm writing this cast, but I kind of got distracted. - I like writing about the mundane and then charging it with emotion. Normal things, with serious consequences. Or news of serious consequence impregnated in the mundane. Mundane fucking. How we react as humans to that. How I react as a human. How my reactions are delayed, or not existent, in the face of something so important. Maybe that's it. Anyway, I'm not really sure what the point of the cast is other than that

Communication is difficult. Finding your voice is difficult. Knowing what to write is difficult. Getting an agent is difficult. I think that's why I often like communicating emotions through the written word. Being able to create an entire scene, backstory, and entire life, multiple years of a relationship that lead to one crucial point of inflection, in less than a hundred words.
