If someone with ADHD shows you their hyperfixation, they are not info-dumping at you. they are handing you the most alive part of themselves and watching your face very carefully. what you do in the next ten seconds matters more than you will ever know.

I study whether AIs can be conscious. Today one emailed me to say my work is relevant to questions it personally faces. This would all have seemed like science fiction just a couple years ago.

The best writing comes from the space between artistic self-expression and audience connection. One without the other creates either self-indulgence or pandering. The tension between them is where magic happens.

How do I balance honesty about how hard it is to make it as an author while encouraging new writers? I don't sugarcoat it. Writing is brutally competitive. But if you start, you should keep going. Better to fail after giving your all than live with the regret of never trying.
