I love this! Here's my favorite line: Maybe anti-maskers have merely succumbed to the selfish mania built into the American project — which blurs the line between having a behavioral disorder and being an egotistical asshole.

I just got into a HUGE argument with my friend Shawn, also a writer but refuses to send any of his stuff anywhere. I feel like everyone should read my books but I'm not good at marketing them--but is my love for my stories narcissistic? Is his refusal to send his stuff out (even though he knows it's good) just fear? So much to think about! Thanks for sharing...
