For a second I thought I heard Tad Williams lies frozen... Ted, not Tad, phew! Loved this podcast. Re: Time my favourite quote is "Time is the fire in which we burn" by Delmore Schwartz. Intensity, living life to its fullest harkens back to Thoreau, put to rout all that was not life.
"The writer is a part of a community of humanity" reminds me of intertextuality, weaving through every "text" from the first word to the last. We all share the same pool of pretext to various degrees.
When you mentioned Energy, Matter and Deleuzean Affect, I thought this is what my Flash Fiction piece "Transference" is about, I could be wrong because I am not too familiar with the term. Have to look it up! But it sounds exactly what I had in mind when I wrote that stream of consciousness.
Ahh, thank you! Yes, I didn't see the text version and jumped directly on the podcast. You could maybe also try the new Substack Transcription AI thing for this one, don't know if that works in retrospect, though.

Excellent insights, Kathleen.
Thanks so much, Alexander!
You’ve highlighted something for me and that’s that the podcast migration did not include episode notes 🤔
Here is the original. I shall amend tomorrow and get back to you properly as well. Please share the link to your story!
