So
this entry is the last one with the word clouds and chapter summaries
included. I thought I might say a few words about one last trick:
quoting myself. It's been pretty hilarious. My background is academic,
so when I'm quoting something, it brings with it a whole range of
notions about argument and authority. And for me to quote me? From or
about my work? To promote me? I feel like I've reached some irreducible
nexus of intertexuality, digital marketing, and postmodern
autobiography. For me, the only real response to such absurdity is
laughter.

"She knew none of this was like her. Whatever hit her, she bounced right
up and hit back. But she’d never had to fight anything quite like this."
