When this gets published, I want to write a review so I can use the phrases, “fucking awesome” and “I want to be David C. Garcia when I grow up.”

David, this is good. Really, really good. I’m excited for you, and I can’t wait to hear about how many publishing houses are beating down the door trying to buy the rights to your work.

I agree that confidence in one’s work is paramount in the writing process. William Faulkner said, “Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique. There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut. The young writer would be a fool to follow a theory. Teach yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error. The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him.”

Yep, writing is exactly like that.

Nice work, David. Disturbing, yeah, but well done.
